Writing a Literature Review
Writing Centre Learning Guide
At some point in your university study, you may be asked to review the literature on
a certain subject or in a particular area. Such a review involves comparing different
writers’ ideas or perspectives on a topic and evaluating these ideas, all in relation to
your own work. A literature review differs from an article review in that it involves
writing about several writers’ ideas, rather than evaluating a single article. It is also
different to an annotated bibliography, which is usually a series of short reflections
on individual pieces of writing.
Introduction
The literature review enables you and your reader to get an overview of a certain subject, so that it
is clear who the main writers are in the field, and which main points need to be addressed. It
should be an evaluative piece of writing, rather than just a description. This means that you need to
weigh up arguments and critique ideas, rather than just providing a list of what different writers
have said. It is up to you to decide what the reader needs to know on the topic, but you should only
include the main pieces of writing in this area; a literature review does not need to include
everything ever written on the topic. The most important thing is to show how the literature relates
to your own work.
You may be writing a literature review as part of a thesis, or as an exercise in itself. Whatever the
reason, there are many benefits to writing a literature review. It provides an opportunity to:
identify a gap in previous research
outline the main arguments in your field
show that you are familiar with the literature on your topic
indicate who the main writers are in a particular area
evaluate previous studies
position your work in relation to other writers
identify areas of controversy
support your own work by citing other authors
highlight current literature and use older sources where relevant
see what previous methodologies have been used and to avoid making the same mistakes
as previous researchers
demonstrate that you can do research
avoid plagiarism and demonstrate your referencing skills
provide a clear theoretical framework
2
demonstrate your understanding of the key ideas and concepts in your topic
define your terms, drawing on other writers’ definitions
make you more confident that your area of research is worth studying.

What to include
There are many types of literature that you could include in a review, but as far as possible you
should use primary sources. .

Literature Review - How to write effectively.pptxnguyenlekhanhx02
The document provides guidance on conducting a literature review. It defines a literature review as analyzing and synthesizing existing works to place the current study in context, avoid duplication, and identify gaps. An effective literature review compares and contrasts authors' views, groups similar conclusions, and critically evaluates methodologies. It should highlight exemplary studies, identify patterns, and show how the current study relates to prior work. When searching literature, one should use a variety of sources and evaluate their credibility. The conclusion should draw key points and discuss the need for further research.
This document discusses the structure and process of writing a research paper. It explains that a research paper includes an introduction that provides background on the topic, a body with arguments to support the thesis, and a conclusion that restates the main points. It also covers choosing a topic, creating an outline, drafting the paper, using quotes and citations, and compiling a bibliography. The document provides examples of different paper structures, from a standard research paper to a dissertation. It emphasizes that writing a research paper involves critical thinking to form and support an argument, not just finding good quotes.
A literature review surveys scholarly sources on a particular topic, synthesizing key findings and concepts. It has four main objectives: to survey the literature, synthesize the information, critically analyze the information by identifying gaps and limitations, and present the literature in an organized way. A good literature review analyzes, interprets, and critically evaluates the literature to highlight patterns, themes, conflicts, and gaps. It demonstrates familiarity with the body of knowledge and establishes where the author's own research fits within existing research.
Research is "creative and systematic work undertaken to increase the stock of knowledge". It involves the collection, organization and analysis of evidence to increase understanding of a topic, characterized by a particular attentiveness to controlling sources of bias and error.

3. Paradigm Funnel Approach
“the balls in the funnel are categories of
works that are relevant to your
investigation, but do not specifically
address what you are doing. They will
have more to do with your topic than
with your thesis statement. They tend to
contain a lot of works per category,
which makes sense …” (Hofstee, 2006,
p. 96).

4. Significance
Paradigm Funnel approach which was “used to structure an insightful literature review and
to generate enlightened research thinking. It is especially useful for doctoral students and
other researchers faced with a heterogeneous body of literature” (Berthon, Nairn, &
Money, 2003).
