    Writing a Literature Review

    WHAT IS LITERATURE REVIEW?


     A literature review is a text of a scholarly paper, which
    includes the current knowledge including substantive
    findings, as well as theoretical and methodological
    contributions to a particular topic. Literature reviews are
    secondary sources, and do not report new or original
    experimental work. Most often associated with
    academic-oriented literature, such reviews are found in
    academic journals, and are not to be confused with
    book reviews that may also appear in the same
    publication. Literature reviews are a basis for research in
    nearly every academic field.
    General Guidelines to
    Writing a Literature Review
    You will need to pick out the research
    most relevant to the topic you are
    studying
    Don’t attempt to cover everything
    written on your topic
    You will use the studies in your
    literature review as “evidence” that
    your research question is an important
    one
    Organizing Your Literature Review?
     CHRONOLOGICAL: This is a common approach,
    especially for topics that have been talked about for a
    long time and have changed over their history.
     COMPARISON TO PRESENT HYPOTHESIS: If
    your literature review is part of an empirical article or
    meta-analysis, where you intend to present a hypothesis
    and come to a conclusion, you can organize the
    literature review to show the articles that share or
    support your hypothesis, and those that disagree with it.
     PROMINENT AUTHORS: If a certain
    researcher started a field, and there are
    several famous people who developed it
    more, a good approach can be grouping the
    famous author/researchers and what each is
    known to have said about the topic.
     PROCESS FLOW:If your literature review
    centers around part of a process, you may
    want to describe the stages in that process
    and group your citations by different stages
    or steps in that process.
    Writing the Literature
    Review..
    Step 1: Review APA
    guidelines
    Step 2: Decide on a topic
    Step 3: Identify the literature
    that you will review:
    Step 4: Analyze the literature
    Step 5: Summarize the
    literature in table or concept
    map format
    Step 6: Writing the review
    Common Errors Made in Lit
    Reviews
     Insert Running head using the Insert page
    numbers of your word program.
     Varied sentence length helps readers
    maintain interest and comprehension.
     Single paragraphs are abrupt. Paragraphs
    that are too long are likely to lose the
    reader’s attention.
     Do not use emotional words., e.gs, felt.
     When you list something, put comma right
    before the last word.
