 literature review 

1 - Pick and develop literature on your topic 

- research the question you are trying to answer, Use key words to look up these topics. great if the reserch is pier reviewed and acedmic. 

2 - Evaluate and select sources

- read the intro, read the conclusion, what are the key concepts mentioned, what topic is the suture talking about. agreeing and disagreeing with opinions put across in the research. 

  • What question or problem is the author addressing?
  • What are the key concepts and how are they defined?
  • What are the key theories, models, and methods?
  • Does the research use established frameworks or take an innovative approach?
  • What are the results and conclusions of the study?
  • How does the publication relate to other literature in the field? Does it confirm, add to, or challenge established knowledge?
  • What are the strengths and weaknesses of the research?

3 - Identify themes connections and gaps 

  • Trends and patterns (in theory, method or results): do certain approaches become more or less popular over time?
  • Themes: what questions or concepts recur across the literature?
  • Debates, conflicts and contradictions: where do sources disagree?
  • Pivotal publications: are there any influential theories or studies that changed the direction of the field?
  • Gaps: what is missing from the literature? Are there weaknesses that need to be addressed?

4 - Outline literature review structure 

- Chronological (in time order) 

- Thematic (doing it through topic) 

- Methodological (drawing information from different fields)

- Theoretical (theory's, models) 

5 - Writing it with intro, main body and conclusion 

(In a power point format) 

  • Summarize and synthesize: give an overview of the main points of each source and combine them into a coherent whole
  • Analyze and interpret: don’t just paraphrase other researchers—add your own interpretations where possible, discussing the significance of findings in relation to the literature as a whole
  • Critically evaluate: mention the strengths and weaknesses of your sources
  • Write in well-structured paragraphs: use transition words and topic sentences to draw connections, comparisons and contrasts
 - What evidence has convinced you in arguments?
