Literature Review

What is a literature review? A guide or an overview to a particular topic. Literature Reviews collect the most relevant and significant publications in order to provide a comprehensive look at what has been said on a topic and who has said it. 

 

The Value of Literature Reviews

   Traces- the progression of a topic or field

   Evaluates- the sources and advise on most pertinent and relevant information

   Reflects- upon the importance of the literature on current or future research

  Synthesizes- the ways to look conceptually at past studies in a manner that does more than just reports upon them

 

How does one write a literature view?

  • Research a topic
  • Focus on aspects from your sources that connect
  • Find common themes among all sources
  • Summarize and synthesize the themes, arguments, data, and ideas from the sources
  • Use your own words,as well as your own conceptual diagrams and figures, to convey your organizing principles 

 

In this course, it is particularly important for students to examine primary literature for their assignments
