Hi Naseer, it sounds like you already have your topic for research, and the title. It will come down to the academic sources you use, and most universities give you links to their subscription of numerous academic journals and websites. So academic publishing websites, your own internet searches, the local library, and if you really need to, a few book purchases. This should be enough for your literature review and thesis/dissertation sources.

Does your supervisor have access or know the process for student to access online journals? Most universities have subscriptions to these journals and their student can access this with their student ID's. To be honest I found it difficult myself, but after doing extensive research on the internet, I would say more than 50% of my sources cam from free journals, articles and even full books that were available on the internet. It just takes time to gather your sources. For a masters research thesis, they are normally around 15,000 words right, give or take, and normally anywhere from 50-80 sources are recommended. It sounds like a lot, but within a few weeks that number is easy to reach just from internet sources.

What about your library? Can they help you get access to those academic journals? Perhaps via inter-library loans?
