1.lack of referencing- some researcher rarely note down the reference in their work while reading. This results to spending a lot of time in library tracking down the references to all quoted source of information.
2. Lack of documentation-some researchers read articles without writing them until they have finished reading. These are sometimes reserved to omitting important points.
3. Large quantities of studies to be reviewed-some researchers attempt to read and review all materials related to the topic and this is impossible. Literature review is not summary of all published work that relates to one study but survey of most relevant of significant work.
4. Poor presentation-some researchers creates too many paragraphs in their work by treating each article in a separate paragraph. This makes the work disjointed particularly if separate paragraph are addressing a point. The researcher should ensure similar points are grouped together.
5. Lack of critique- some researchers blindly accept research findings and interpretations without critically examining all aspects of research designs and analysis. One should critically analyse the work pointing out contrary findings and alternative interpretations.
