What is a Literature Review?

• Surveys scholarly articles, books and other sources relevant to a particular issue, area of research, or theory(ies).
• Summarizes and synthesis, often within specific conceptual categories.
• Provides an overview and critical evaluation of the most significant sources you explored while researching a particular topic
• Demonstrates to your readers how your research fits into your larger field of study.

A Literature Review is NOT a summary of the articles

-- that's an annotated bibliography

Purpose of a Literature Review

• Increases your knowledge in your area of research, including seminal research and opposing viewpoints.
• Leads to new insights and changes in practice, possible because you reviewed all available research in a particular area.
• Helps you identify main methodologies and research techniques.
• Allows one piece of research to be viewed within the wider context of others.
• Enhances subject vocabulary.
• Relates ideas and theory to applications
