This document provides guidance for writing a 3000-word literature review in 3 days. It recommends starting with scoping searches to identify relevant literature, then speed reading papers to extract key points and organize them into themes. On day 1, the reader extracts quotes and themes from papers. Day 2 involves mapping major themes and subthemes to structure the review. Gaps are identified and filled. On day 3, the review is written by discussing literature under each subheading and concluding with reflections. Following this process allows completing a literature review within a tight 3-day deadline.
