    • 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.
