Does what I am researching interest others in the broad sense?
What's the gap in knowledge?
What's the main point?
What's the relevance?
Really, how do papers relate to my results?
Keys words that I might use when searching for more info: Dogwelk locations, Nucella Lamellosa mass weight studies, Washington state snails by mass, plastic phenotypic response, predator-induced shell thickening in the intertidal gastropod, marine biologists, etc.
Use my abstract to visualize all the pieces, then target other sections.
1. Are the hypothesis similiar?
2. Are the experimental setups comparable to mine?
3. What method and materials are common?
4. Are the species the same?
5. How doe the results compare?
6. How does it relate to the experiment that I am conducting?
"The exercise of contextualizing literature sets the stage for the discussion."
