PRISM, PICO, PICOS & SPIDER diagram for systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis for sensitivity analysis - explain clearly and in depth the steps and sequences and relate each step to the research's problem statement, research questions and research objectives Chapter 4: It’s very important to explain in detail on conceptual framework as well as theoretical framework. There would need to be more cross-corroboration, cross-linkages and cross-connection with existing work/research, where the findings and outcomes from this research corroborates, did not corroborates and/or partially corroborates and how each of this integrate, ties and link/connect/corroborates work to the research questions, research objectives and/or research hypotheses, more cross-analysis, cross-critique, cross-evaluation and cross-synthesis from the mixed-methods insights with the theoretical framework (Chapter 2) and conceptual framework (an opportunity to enhance the initial conceptual framework from Chapter 2 as detailed conceptual framework in this Chapter 4), evidence of linked themes from either qualitative or quantitative or mixed methods datasets (depending on which research methodology and methods that you have used for your research), e.g., samples responses and direct sample quotes to the peer reviewed academic literature and scholarly work, any similar research trends/patterns, any opposing and/or alternative and contrasting views, any emerging themes and/or any new research directions in light of this research area Visual in Chapter 5 - Risk enabled procurement analysis and evaluation should be undertaken with supporting research narratives.
