Hello;
I would like to know how to write a rich bibliographic chapter for my thesis. My work is about the estimation of OD Matrices: for example how many methods and approaches I have to describe and compare to have an interesting chapter? Should I present it on a comparative table?....
Thank you
Regards.
You find all you need in Chris Hart’s book Doing a Literature Review. Here a synopsis of the book: “This book can provide an excellent framework for bolstering what is often an experiential process - doing a literature review. It is best seen alongside the supervisor, as a guide, through the multidimensional sea of academic literature' - British Educational Research Journal 'I have been waiting for this book for five years. It sets out a number of important dimensions involved in the process of literature review and by clear signposting, diagrams, and examples will help the student to carry out her or his review more systematically. Learning how to carry out a literature review has always entailed the experiential. While this is a the best way of learning, it is only so providing that learning actually takes place during the experience (or by reflection afterwards). This book makes explicit those dimensions which could remain implicit or even missed by the student as they wade through all those books, papers, articles, and print-outs' - Kevin Maguire, Nottingham Trent University Reviewing the literature for a research project can seem a daunting, even overwhelming task. New researchers, in particular, wonder: Where do I start? What do I do? How do I do it?This text offers students across the social sciences and humanities a practical and comprehensive guide to writing a literature review. Chris Hart offers invaluable advice on how to: search out existing knowledge on a topic; analyze arguments and ideas; map ideas, arguments and perspectives; produce a literature review; and construct a case for investigating a topic. The book contains examples of how to cite references, structure a research proposal and present a Master's thesis. It is published as a Set Book for The Open University Postgraduate Foundation Module (D820) The Challenge of the Social Sciences.“

You should request a copy of my PhD thesis, which investigated the validity of popular Origin-Destination models. I showed that the gravity models and some other models are all wrong!
You need to list and reference all the models you can find. You could list the salient features of each and investigate where doubt has been expressed by other authors.
