Literature Review
Understanding literature review.
- A literature review is a detailed study of existing research articles, books, and other sources relevant to the field of your project.
- This gives you an overview of the progress in your area of interest and strengthens your understanding of the field.
- It’s a crucial part of any investigative project because it sets the groundwork for your research, and gives your work credibility.
Goals and Importance of Literature Review
- The goal of a literature review is to provide a comprehensive summary of the current understanding of a topic.
- It also identifies gaps in knowledge that your project can fill, helping to clarify your research problem and questions.
- Literature reviews show the context of your investigation within the existing scientific landscape.
Conducting a Literature Review
- Start by identifying the key words and concepts related to your topic.
- Make use of academic databases such as Google Scholar, JSTOR or ScienceDirect to gather your material.
- Ensure that your search is thorough and that you’ve covered all the critical literature related to your subject.
Analyzing and Evaluating Sources
- Evaluate the credibility of your sources by checking the author’s qualifications and the date of publication. Primary research articles are the most credible sources.
- Analyze the source’s methods, results, and conclusion for relevance , accuracy , and quality .
- Look for agreement or disagreement among sources to understand different perspectives on the subject.
Writing the Literature Review
- Begin by giving a general overview of the topic and explain the importance of the topic.
- Following the introduction, present a summary of each source , stating its purpose, methodology, and conclusions.
- Discuss the findings , and compare the works, pointing out where they agree and disagree.
- Finish with a conclusion summarising the main findings from the review and their implications for your project.
Citing Sources
- All sources used in your literature review should be appropriately cited according to the required citation style (e.g., APA, MLA, etc.).
- Remember to include a full reference list at the end of your literature review.
Conducting a literature review meticulously is an essential skill for any investigator and doing so will significantly contribute to the success of your investigative project.
