Before writing the literature review, what guidelines
should we follow?
A literature review is an essential part of any academic paper's introduction. This is your
chance to present your research findings in an engaging and understandable manner.
However, it can be difficult to write an effective literature review. How to write a literature
review that will impress your professor and help you get the A they deserve is the topic of
this blog post.
Purpose of the Literature Review
The purpose of a literature review is to provide a comprehensive summary of the research
on a particular subject. A description of the study population, data collection and analysis
methods, and results should all be included. You can also use the literature review to plan
your research by learning about previous studies and their results.
When writing a literature review, it's critical to remain objective. Keep in mind the following:
1. Give an explanation of the study population and the selection criteria.
2. Discuss the research's data collection and methods.
3. Write a report on each study's findings, outlining any significant trends or inferences that
can be drawn from them.
4. Provide a summary of your findings and any suggestions for future research based on the
reviewed studies.
Methodology for a Literature Review
When writing your literature review, keep the following important points in mind: Before
beginning your work, read the article you are reviewing first. You will gain a deeper
comprehension of the concepts and research involved with this.
The next step is to outline your review in a systematic manner. This will help you organize
your thoughts and keep your analysis objective. Last but not least, always back up your
claims about the study's findings with evidence.
Criteria for Evaluation
The purpose of a literature review is to provide a summary and overview of the research on
a particular subject, assisting in the decision-making process regarding whether or not to
conduct additional research. A literature review's quality can be evaluated using a variety of
evaluation criteria, some of which are as follows:
1. Academic standards: The review ought to be based on sound academic practices, like
using rigorous methods and sources, avoiding bias, and accurately presenting all
information.
2. Objectivity: The evaluation ought to be fair and impartial, taking into account the
perspectives of all participants without favoring any one group over another.
3. Anecdotal proof: Anecdotal evidence should only be used in the review if it is supported
by other sources. Any other way, it ought not be utilized by any means.
4. Quantitative proof: To present a complete picture of the research, the review ought to,
whenever possible, make use of quantitative evidence.
5. Synthesis: In order to provide a comprehensive overview of the subject, the review ought
to combine the results of numerous studies.
Conclusion
It is essential to have a clear understanding of both your intended message and the delivery
intended to convey it prior to writing your literature review.
By adhering to these guidelines, you can help ensure that your review is well-organized and
accurately reflects the data you gathered during your research.
Choose a topic that piques your interest.
Find relevant sources, organize your data in accordance with your review's goals, and make
sure to discuss both objective and subjective evidence.
