This document provides guidance on how to write an effective literature review. It explains that a literature review surveys and analyzes relevant scholarly articles and research on a topic, to identify what is already known and the strengths and limitations of current knowledge. Writing a literature review helps develop skills in information seeking, critical analysis, and questioning each source to validate findings and ensure all relevant research is included. The document advises considering the scope of the review, searching widely, and structuring the review cohesively around key themes rather than as a list of summaries.
