How to write
literature review
2
The literature review is a specific
kind of paper that introduces us to
the previously published work. It's
like a summary of the source of
knowledge according to the topic.
3
Students of Yale and Oxford
Universities often tell that it hard
to write the perfect review. So if
you are a newbie you may ask how
to write literature review? Let's
take a quick look.
4
The lit review can be written with
the help of two main approaches.
They are chronological and the
thematic approach.
5
You should use the chronological
approach if the ideas are
progressing over the time. In such
review, the sources will be
discussed according to the
publication date.
6
The thematic approach will require to
take the existing knowledge according
to your topic and they must be
analyzed deeply. You must review each
source including the most important
and useful information.
7
Before you will start writing you
must learn the five main sections
of the literature review. If you will
keep the right structure you will
probably receive the success.
8
These parts are:
- Introduction;
- Methods;
- Body;
- Discussion & Conclusion;
- Reference List.
9
Your introduction must consist of
the information about your
studying field. Here you will
describe the relevance of your
topic to the chosen field.
10
The methods will give the readers an
idea of understanding your approach.
Here you will describe the main criteria
which you have used while you
researched the sources. In other words,
you will show the way how you have
presented your information.
11
Body is the main part of your literature
review. And it will be formatted
according to your approach. If you will
choose the chronological model you
will separate your paragraphs by the
time periods. If thematic - you will
separate your paragraphs by subtopics
according to the various themes.
12
You will summarize and discuss
the questions regarding to the
chosen field and topic in the
discussion and conclusion part.
13
The reference list will include the
important details about all
sources you have used to write
your literature review. Here you
will use the alphabetical order to
manage all sources.
14
If you are going to write the best
literature review you must first
choose your topic. After you must
start reading the literature
making the notes.
15
As the students of Berkeley and
Cambridge Universities say -
choosing the right format is one
of the most important steps.
16
You must analyze the literature
critically and manage your content with
the right structure which was described
above. And always be objective with
your thoughts. The readers like such an
approach.
17
Yes, it may be hard to write such
literature review. But you can also find
the incredible samples which will help
you to start your own literature review.
You can also read this book to learn
more about how to write reviews.
18
If it will hard for you after all tips, guides
and books you will not fail. You can
always get the literature review help
from the professional writing services.
Their writers are real experts in the
writing field.
