Study Notes
What is a Literature Review?
- A literature review systematically discusses published material on a specific topic.
- It synthesizes and evaluates existing research to provide a comprehensive overview.
Purpose of a Literature Review
- Demonstrates expertise by showcasing thorough research capabilities and knowledge in a selected field.
- Provides context, presenting prevailing theories, significant studies, and gaps in the literature.
Literature Review vs. Annotated Bibliography
- An annotated bibliography summarizes studies individually; a literature review synthesizes and compares information holistically.
- Literature reviews focus on a broader perspective rather than arguing or proving main points.
Three Types of Literature Review Organization
- Chronological Organization: Arranges information by publication date or historical context, useful for sequential event analysis.
- Thematic Organization: Groups literature by themes or issues, effective for narrowing topics from general to specific.
- Methodological Organization: Organizes literature based on research methodology, facilitating comparisons across diverse approaches in similar studies.
