THEMES/CONCEPTS:
Are there themes that go together or that are in dialogue with each other?
For example, are mentoring and organisational culture closely related?
Are there themes that contradict each other, and help you form arguments
and counter arguments?
Play with the themes until you find a way of organising them that 1) makes
sense, and 2) can serve your purpose of reviewing literature
Is there a theme that is too broad and you should break it down to other
more specific themes?
Decide about themes that are related to each other and together serve to
create sections of your literature review
This is an iterative process: apply the changes, combine, break down, label
sections, reflect upon, review, go back to literature, does it make sense? Do
you want to review your themes and sections?
