    The document provides guidance on conducting a literature review. It defines a literature review as analyzing existing research relevant to the research topic and identifying how the research may help answer questions or gaps. A literature review situates the research within the academic field, provides a critical review of literature, and identifies gaps the research aims to address. It is important for having up-to-date knowledge, ensuring research relevance, and understanding background research. The literature review process involves initial scoping, ongoing review as research is conducted, and relating findings to existing literature. When writing, the review should be framed by research questions, relate to the study, and critically engage with literature through synthesis rather than summary.

    may help answer some of the questions or gaps
    in this area Of research.
    LITERATURE REVIEW

    situates your research focus within the


    context of the wider academic
    community in your field;
    reports your critical review of the
    relevant literature; and
    identifies a gap within that literature that
    your research will attempt to address.
    WHY LITERATURE REVIEW?

    To have up-to-date awareness of the


    relevant work of others
    To make sure the relevance of your
    research question
    To ‘address a gap’
    WHY LITERATURE REVIEW?

    To understand and critically analyse the


    background research
    To select and source the information
    that is necessary to develop
    a context for your research

    PRIOR

    An early view to establish the

    research focus/question
    DURING

    Make sure that you keep in touch


    with current, relevant research in your
    field, which is published during the
    period of your research
    WHEN YOU READ, THINK ABOUT:
    What were the research aims of the paper/book?
    Is the research aim achieved? If so, how did they do it?
    Are there any problems with their methodology?
    Was it a strong or a weak research model?
    How will this research help with your own research?
    What can you take from it?
    What needs to be avoided?
    What are you doing differently?
    AT THE END

    Relate your findings to the findings of


    others, and to identify their
    implications for theory, practice, and
    research.
    Ways of finding relevant material

    sources references journals
    THINK ABOUT YOUR OWN LITERATURE

    Who are the key players in my field?


    What are the main ideas/debates in my field?
    How have these ideas changed over time?
    What are some of the problems with these
    ideas/debates?
    Is there a problem with the methodology?
    What are you going to do differently?
    First stage of the literature review is to
    identify the key people in your field

    What research and theory is there on my topic?


    What are the key sources (books, articles) on my
    topic?
    Who are the main theorists and researchers in
    this area?
    How has the topic/problem been investigated
    over time?
    Identify a ‘gap’ in the literature

    What  are the strengths and weaknesses of these


    debates?
    What evidence is lacking, inconclusive or limited?
    What will you add to the topic? What will you do
    differently?
    WRITING IT UP

    It should be framed by your research questions.


    It must relate to your study
    Be in control, not totally deferent to or ‘tossed
    about by previous literature'.
    Be selective. Ask ‘why am I including this?’
    Engage in a dialogue with the literature, you are
    not just providing a summary
    WRITING IT UP

    should be summarized, synthesized and critically


    written
    you need to digest information from different
    sources , critically ecvaluate it and present your
    conclusion in a concise, logicalland 'reader-friendly'
    manner
    SYNTHESIS WRITING

    LITERATURE REVIEW

    Is not a cronological summary of what other people have


    aid e.g.: Author A (year) said , and Author B (year) said
    You need to synthesize not merely summarize the existing
    knowledge
    Novice researchers normally will copy and paste
    information without 'digesting' the information at all. This is
    unacceptable!
