- Literature review articles (or narrative literature review articles) provide narrative summaries and evaluations of findings or theories within a literature base.
- Literature reviews do not conduct a systematic quantitative or qualitative meta-analysis, but instead capture trends in the literature.
- Literature review articles should define and clarify the problem, summarize previous investigations, identify gaps in the literature and inconsistencies, and suggest next steps to solve the problem.
- Theoretical articles draw from existing research literature to advance theory, presenting empirical information only to advance the theoretical issue being explicated.
- Theoretical articles may trace the development of a theory to expand and refine its constructs, present a new theory, or analyze an existing theory.
