General comments:

1.Whatever source you enumerated in your matrix, the authors/source

must then be used in your essay
2.The sources you cited in the essay must also be reflected in the
reference list
3.The purpose why I asked you to make a matrix/table as the first step is
to help you organize your researched materials. Reading a lot of
articles/journals can be overwhelming, so learning how to organize
your sources would make your writing task easier.
