The document provides guidance on writing a literature review by outlining the key components. A literature review summarizes and synthesizes published ideas on a specific topic, rather than simply annotating sources. It includes an overview of the topic and reasons for the review. Relevant sources are organized into categories and connected to show how each relates to others and contributes to understanding the research area. The conclusion discusses the most effective sources to support the project and development of knowledge in the field. The goal is to demonstrate how existing research informs the topic being studied.

The main purposes are to place the current research in the context of past work, identify gaps in the literature, and avoid duplicating past efforts. The review should analyze and summarize key sources, evaluate their contributions and identify relationships between them. It involves searching literature, evaluating sources, analyzing findings, and interpreting them to discuss the state of research on the topic.
Literature review
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.

The document outlines the key steps and purposes of conducting a literature review. It discusses finding relevant sources such as books, articles, and conference papers. The basic steps include searching literature, evaluating sources, identifying themes and gaps, outlining the structure, and writing the review. The review aims to provide context on previous research, identify relationships between studies, and determine areas for further research. Guide questions are also presented to help structure the review.
Contextualization of Research
The document discusses the importance of contextualizing research through a literature review. It helps researchers broaden their perspective on a topic, narrow down their research question, and locate relevant sources. The literature review is conducted in three stages - an initial review to select a topic, a thorough review to expand knowledge of theories, and a final focused review to refine the research question. Researchers must learn from past studies by understanding their methods, findings, and contributions to the field. Once sources are located through indices, databases, bibliographies and other means, the literature must be organized, summarized and synthesized to contextualize the research problem and inform the study.

Writing a literature review
- 2. What? A Literature Review provides an overview of the information published to date on a specific topic, summarizing and synthesizing the ideas presented.
- 3. The Literature Review is not an annotated bibliography: it is a narrative document that synthesizes the sources consulted to develop a conclusion. An annotated bibliography simply deals with each resource in turn, describing and evaluating the source in a single paragraph.
- 4. Decide on your topic and identify any related issues. Begin with an Overview of the Topic, including the reason for the review (research)
- 5. How? Search relevant databases and library catalogues to find information – journal articles, books, “proper” websites Write Annotations for each source, placing it in the context of their contribution to the research on the topic.
- 6. Organise Organize the Sources into categories - e.g. those that support one position, those against the position, those that offer an alternative thesis. You may also choose to organize sources in chronological order within your categories
- 7. Connect Connect Sources - explain how each source relates to other sources, this is connective writing that turns the whole piece into a constructed bit of writing rather than a disjointed set of paragraphs
- 8. Conclude Conclusion - discuss which sources are most effective/useful in supporting your project and which sources contribute the most to the understanding and development of the research on the topic.
- 9. Why? The idea is to show that you have looked at information already published on the area you are researching and used it to help you decide how/what to research Adapted from: http://www.ithacalibrary.com/sp/subjects/LitRev by Edward Moore 12/3/2012
