LITERATURE REVIEW


A Literature Review is an explanation of what was published on a subject from qualified scholars and on the research. Every so often you will be asked to write a separate assignment (mostly in the shape of a bibliography noted but more often is the part of the opening to a assessment)

In the writing of the literature review, its reason is to transport its reader the knowledge and the ideas, which were established on the subject and to elaborate their force and the weaknesses that occur. Like a piece of writing, the revision of literature should be defined from the driving concept (for example, its objective of search). It is not just a descriptive list of the available material, or a series of summaries.

Besides it enlarge our knowledge of the subject, writing a literature review leaves us earning and showing capability in two areas:

  1. Critical appraisal: the ability to apply principles of analysis
  2. To identify impartial and convincing studies
  3. Information seeking: the ability to scan the literature efficiently, using manual or computerized methods, to identify to set of useful articles and books
A Literature Review should accomplish the following things:

  1. Be organized around and related directly to the thesis or research question you are developing
  2. Synthesize results into a summary of what is known and what’s not
  3. Identifying areas of controversy in the literature d. Formulate questions that need further research
