At the very first stages of your literature review, start taking notes on potential data sources. Make a habit of jotting down the data used in each study you read to make it faster when you come back later in your search for data.

Author(s) and Year of Publication | Claim | Data | Dependent Variable/Estimation Technique | Significant Findings |
