 SHOW THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PREVIOUS THEORIES AND STUDIES
 Relevant theories
The theoretical foundation of various resources, specific aims, essential  
assumptions and expressed theories are the powerful fundamentals to be defined in a 
 literature review of a dissertation.
A Theoretical Framework acts as the fundamental foundation of research work on 
 which the given research is rebuilt.
It represents a wide range of theories and essential concepts and their definition 
 engaged in research journals.
Contd..
Overall the theoretical framework is where the researcher demonstrates the  
significant understanding of the approaches and methodologies related to the topic 
 of their research study.
It set a boundary for specific research work and their scope, beside which the 
 authors are not permitted to go forward.
It is generally found at the preliminary section of any research papers and often 
 combined with a review of associated literature.
So, if you want to identify a theoretical framework for any research paper, you need 
 to look at the inductor part of the research work.
Contd..

 their work and effort and the research problem or hypothesis that the researcher  
answered and validated.

 maximum limit of a research focus.

 world; hence it must be too general or blurred or out of focus.

 focus of the research paper.
Contd..
The author must clearly state the limitations of their research work in the
introductory part.
 FINDING MAIN METHODOLOGIES, REFERENCE AND CITATION

 employed, what the methods they used are and how they have concluded 
the  collected resource.

 can duplicate the study described.
What type of method the author use for research? Whether it is an appropriate 
 method for their study or not?
Contd..
How did the researcher identify their subject? For what principle they use?

 Was the sample size is huge enough to bring out the necessary result.
Does the data collection tools and procedures are enough to measure the 
 significance and accuracy of the work?
