A literature review examines and evaluates previous research on a topic to establish what is known and unknown. It focuses on scholarly sources and analyzes them using the five C's: cite, compare, contrast, critique, and connect. The review has an introduction outlining the topic and context, a body section examining past research and identifying gaps, and a conclusion summarizing key findings and conclusions. Proper literature reviews are carefully organized, critically analyze sources, and clearly demonstrate how the current research builds upon past work.

How to Write a Literature Review
What This Handout is About…
This handout will explain what a Literature Review is and offer insights into the form and
construction of a Literature Review in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Sciences.
Introduction
OK. You’ve got to write a literature review. You dust off your world literature
anthology book, settle down in your Ebert and Roper at the Movies theatre chair with
your popcorn and soda in hand, and get ready to issue a “thumbs up” or “thumbs down”
as you leaf through the pages. “Literature Review” done. Right?
Wrong! The “literature” of a literature review refers to any collection of materials on a
topic, not necessarily the Great Literary Texts of the World. “Literature” could be
anything from a set of government pamphlets on British colonial methods in Africa to
scholarly articles on the treatment of a torn ACL. And a review does not necessarily
mean that your reader wants you to give your personal opinion on whether or not you
liked these sources.
What is a literature review, then?
A literature review discusses published information in a particular subject area, and
sometimes information in a particular subject area within a certain time period.
A literature review can be just a simple summary of the sources, but it usually has an
organizational pattern and combines both summary and synthesis. A summary is a recap
of the important information of the source, but a synthesis is a re-organization, or a
reshuffling, of that information. It might give a new interpretation of old material or
combine new with old interpretations. Or it might trace the intellectual progression of the
field, including major debates. And depending on the situation, the literature review may
evaluate the sources and advise the reader on the most pertinent or relevant.
But how is a literature review different from an academic research
paper?
While the main focus of an academic research paper is to support your own argument, the
focus of a literature review is to summarize and synthesize the arguments and ideas of
others. The academic research paper also covers a range of sources, but it is usually a
select number of sources, because the emphasis is on the argument. Likewise, a literature
review can also have an “argument,” but it is not as important as covering a number of
sources. In short, an academic research paper and a literature review contain some of the
same elements. In fact, many academic research papers will contain a literature review
section. But it is the aspect of the study (the argument or the sources) that is emphasized
that determines what type of document it is.
Why do we write literature reviews?
Literature reviews provide you with a handy guide to a particular topic. If you have

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2. What is a literature review?
NOT an annotated bibliography or a Work Cited
Page
NOT a summary of each of your sources listed
one by one
NOT just a descriptive summary of the historical
background of your topic
3. A literature review…
In a literature review, your central focus is
examining and evaluating what has been said
before on a topic, and establishing the relevance
of this information to your own research.
You may also identify what has not said in the
literature and introduce it
4. What is „the literature‟?
Information relevant to your topic of interest.
Some works may deal specifically or more
generally with your topic of interest
Information, or „the literature‟, may be obtained
from a variety of sources including books, journal
articles, reports, etc.
Usually the focus is on scholarly published
materials
5. Types of „the literature‟
Primary Source
Original research from journals, articles or original
materials such as historical documents, or creative
works such as art or literature.
Secondary Source
Evaluations, reviews or syntheses of original work
Tertiary Source
Broadly scoped material put together usually from
secondary sources to provide an overview, e.g. a
textbook.
6. Selecting appropriate source material
Relevance
It should contribute to the development of your
topic, clarify your position, provide an alternative
point of view you wish to argue against or provide
useful primary source material
Authority
It should be published in a reputable journal (or
other such medium), have been critically evaluated,
been used extensively as a source material, been
peer reviewed or be a recognized authority in the
area.
Currency
It should be recent research or still be influential in the area

21. SAMPLE Literature Review
“World War Two and its Effect on Women.” This excerpt
synthesizes information without summarizing.While the
articles used in this research agree that women made
many advances during the Word War II period, it is crucial
to realize that not all these changes were welcomed. In
most cases women faced discrimination from just about
everyone around them. Women in the workplace were
often placed in positions of inferiority or treated as being
less physically able to do the same work the men did.
Many women were often not trained because they were
viewed as temporary employees who were only there for
the duration of the war (Bruley, 2003, pp.221-222). Women
were very rarely given equal pay as men, even though
some of them did the same work. Women in the military
faced not only mental abuse but also physical harm from
their male counterparts. According to Cornelsen (2005),
there were many instances where female aviators were
injured or killed due to being made to fly ill-maintained
aircrafts or aircrafts that had been sabotaged. (p.114)
