The document summarizes the key elements of a literature review. It discusses Bruce's six elements of a literature review: a list, search, survey, vehicle for learning, research facilitator, and report. It explains that a literature review comprises the critical current knowledge on a topic, including substantive findings and theoretical and methodological contributions. Additionally, it states that the purpose of a literature review is to understand what knowledge and ideas have been established on a topic and the strengths and weaknesses of those ideas. Finally, it distinguishes a literature review from an academic research paper by noting that a literature review summarizes and synthesizes the ideas of others without adding new contributions.
