The literature review provides information on current knowledge about the topic;
illustrates what research has been conducted; compare-and-contrast research to
support your research proposal and prove that the proposed study is needed; and
includes substantive findings to the topic, population, behavior and/or context.
Use secondary sources (peer reviewed articles). It is important to note, that a
literature review is not about summarizing research article after research article.
For example:
Author1 et al. (2018) stated – add the appropriate statement. Also, add another
appropriate statement (Author 2a & Author2b, 2016). On the contrary, other studies
have also found – add appropriate statement (Author3 et al., 2015; Author4, 2016;
Author5 et al., 2017). Therefore, add finalizing appropriate statement (Author1 et al.,
2018; Author4, 2016).
A literature review always ends with an overview of where the gaps are in the literature,
and then go into the research purpose and question/statement.
