I’m looking for a skilled academic researcher to help develop and strengthen the literature review for my Master’s thesis on the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) innovativeness on logistics operational performance. I already have a thesis proposal and an initial literature review draft, which will serve as the starting point.
The goal is to develop a critical, well-supported synthesis of existing research, rather than simply summarising individual articles. The literature review should establish the theoretical foundation of the study, compare definitions and findings, identify research gaps, and support the development of a conceptual framework and hypotheses.
Here’s what matters most to me:
• Systematic research using reputable academic databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Emerald, Springer, etc.
• Strong emphasis on peer-reviewed academic journal articles, preferably including recent research
• Critical comparison and synthesis of studies rather than descriptive summaries
• Clear conceptualisation of AI innovativeness and its relationship with logistics operational performance
• Investigation of technological integration, organisational agility, and strategic vision, including whether the literature supports them as dimensions, antecedents, or related constructs of AI innovativeness
• Identification of validated measurement scales from previous empirical studies for the main constructs
• Development/support of a conceptual research model and testable hypotheses based on the literature
• Identification and justification of the main research gap
• Verification that citations genuinely support the claims made
• APA 7 citations and a complete, accurate reference list
The literature review is expected to be approximately 4,000–5,000 words. Since I already have a substantial draft, the focus should be on strengthening its academic quality, theoretical foundation, sources, critical analysis, and overall structure rather than simply adding more text.
We will first agree on the main constructs, search terms, inclusion criteria, and proposed structure. I would then like an outline and recommendations before proceeding with the complete revision/research.
Final deliverables should include the revised literature review in Word, a list of newly identified academic sources with DOI/link information, validated measurement scales with their original sources, and a proposed conceptual framework/hypotheses. A Zotero, Mendeley, or EndNote reference-library export would also be appreciated.
If you have previous experience with Master’s theses, dissertations, journal literature reviews, quantitative research, conceptual frameworks, or validated measurement scales, please share relevant examples. Experience in AI, innovation management, logistics/supply chain management, or information systems would be especially valuable.
Please also let me know your proposed timeline and briefly explain how you would approach the project.
