The Literature Review
- A literature review is about understanding a subject area and what is known about it, and what isn't known.
- It's used by students, researchers, and managers
- It helps understand the current state, relate it to ongoing research, identify gaps, resolve debates, establish research needs, and define research topics.
Purpose of a Literature Review
- To educate oneself about a topic area.
- Understand the literature before developing an argument or justification.
- Provide background and justification for research.
- Extract and synthesise main points, issues, findings, and research methods.
- Create a coherent argument to describe a proposed study.
- Four main types of literature reviews: narrative, systematic, meta-analysis, meta-synthesis.
Traditional/Narrative Literature Review
- Purpose: analyze and summarize a body of literature.
- Achieved by presenting a comprehensive background on the literature within a specific topic.
