Abstract
This is the second article in the series on African primary care research. The article focuses
on how to search for relevant evidence in the published literature that can be used in the
development of a research proposal. The article addresses the style of writing required and
the nature of the arguments for the social and scientific value of the proposed study, as well as
the use of literature in conceptual frameworks and in the methods. Finally, the article looks at
how to keep track of the literature used and to reference it appropriately.
