Study Notes
Reading and Writing: Literature Review
- Literature reviews are a type of academic writing that gives an overview of a specific subject.
- It summarizes scholarly works, including academic books (excluding textbooks), online databases, conference proceedings, dissertations/theses, empirical studies, government reports, historical records, journal articles, monographs, and statistical handbooks.
- A literature review critically analyzes relationships between scholarly work and current research.
- It can stand alone or be part of a larger research paper that explains a theoretical framework and related studies.
