so that you can identify word count problems before you’ve spent weeks or months writing. Still, if
you can think of a better topic, here is a good place for it. These gaps then form the foundation for
your proposed study. Make a list of keywords Start by creating a list of keywords related to your
research question. Integrative Review Considered a form of research that reviews, critiques, and
synthesizes representative literature on a topic in an integrated way such that new frameworks and
perspectives on the topic are generated. The most interesting literature reviews are often written as
arguments (again, as mentioned at the beginning of the page, this is discipline-specific and doesn’t
work for all situations). Literature reviews and academic research papers are essential components of
scholarly work but serve different purposes within the academic realm. 3 A literature review aims to
provide a foundation for understanding the current state of research on a particular topic, identify
gaps or controversies, and lay the groundwork for future research. Here are some examples:
Chronological: The simplest approach is to trace the development of the topic over time, which helps
familiarize the audience with the topic (for instance if you are introducing something that is not
commonly known in your field). The literature review gives you a chance to: Demonstrate your
familiarity with the topic and its scholarly context Develop a theoretical framework and
methodology for your research Position your work in relation to other researchers and theorists Show
how your research addresses a gap or contributes to a debate Evaluate the current state of research
and demonstrate your knowledge of the scholarly debates around your topic. These include:
Literature reviews help readers understand what is known about a topic without having to find and
read through multiple sources. Finally, a mentor or parent must submit on behalf of the student.
What other sections you include in the body is up to you. The template follows the standard best-
practice structure for formal academic research papers, so it is suitable for the vast majority of
degrees, particularly those within the sciences. However, this may also mean that the journal is more
selective, whereas student-led journals may be easier to publish in. It needs to integrate the existing
research to show how it all fits together. When writing literature reviews, you should avoid the usage
of first-person pronouns. Some scientists may be overly enthusiastic about what they have published,
and thus risk giving too much importance to their own findings in the review. Analysis: Involves
critically evaluating and summarizing key findings, methodologies, and. On America’s Left Coast,
English students in Seattle were told that their love of reading and writing is a characteristic of
“white supremacy,” according to popular talk radio host Jason Rantz. The focus of a literature
review, however, is to summarize and synthesize the arguments and ideas of others without adding
new contributions. When searching the literature for pertinent papers and reviews, the usual rules
apply: be thorough, use different keywords and database sources (e.g., DBLP, Google Scholar, ISI
Proceedings, JSTOR Search, Medline, Scopus, Web of Science), and look at who has cited past
relevant papers and book chapters. You can use it to discuss various theories, models, and definitions
of key concepts. Literature Review: The What, Why and How-to Guide This guide will help you
understand what is a Literature Review, why it is important and how it is done. You can also search
for this author in PubMed Google Scholar Literature reviews are important resources for scientists.
What types of sources should I review (books, journal articles, websites; scholarly versus popular
sources)? 3. How to Write a Narrative Review (Tips for Undergrad Students) Most undergraduate
students conducting a capstone research project will be writing narrative reviews. In this
comprehensive guide, we will explore everything from the definition of a literature review, its
appropriate length, various types of literature reviews, and how to write one. Rule 4: Choose the
Type of Review You Wish to Write After having taken notes while reading the literature, you will
have a rough idea of the amount of material available for the review. I have an amazing supervisor
but one also knows they are super busy. Generally, for my undergraduate research students, I
recommend a narrative review, where themes can be generated in order for the students to develop
sufficient understanding of the topic so they can build upon the themes using unique methods or
novel research questions. However, this may also mean that the journal is more selective, whereas
student-led journals may be easier to publish in. Such studies frequently are not oriented toward
progressive knowledge building and generalization to other settings. The same point applies to the
dichotomy of descriptive vs. How to write a literature review Examples of a published literature
review Literature reviews are often published as scholarly articles, books, and reports. By reading
extensively about a topic, researchers can develop well-defined questions that can be addressed
through their research. 4. Literature Review Helps Assess The Quality Of Previous Research A
literature review allows researchers to critically assess the quality of previous research on the topic.
You should always look at examples from your own discipline and talk to professors or mentors in
your field to be sure you understand your discipline’s conventions, for literature reviews as well as
for any other genre. The subsections might include how they are personified, how their proportions
are exaggerated, and their behaviors misunderstood. However, the degree of emphasis that is given
to individual studies may vary (more or less detail may be warranted depending on how critical or
unique a given study was). Examples include PubMed, IEEE Xplore, Scopus, Web of Science, and
Google Scholar. When you write a literature review, you’re not developing new information. Based
on your reading and notes, you can look for: Trends and patterns (in theory, method or results): do
certain approaches become more or less popular over time. Ideas and insights also come from
discussions with coauthors and colleagues, as well as feedback from reviewers and editors.
Personality and Individual Differences, 53(1), 16-21 5. Provides an intellectual context for your own
work, and enables you to position your project in relation to others in the field. In academic writing,
if you fail to reference a source, you are effectively claiming the work as your own, which equates to
plagiarism. The good news is that if you focus on integrating and synthesising the literature (as I
mentioned in point 3), you shouldn’t run into this issue too often, as you’ll naturally be writing about
the relationships between studies, not just about the studies themselves. Types of Literature Reviews
It is important to think of knowledge in a given field as consisting of three layers. You can argue for
the relevance of a specific theoretical approach or combine various theorical concepts to create a
framework for your research. Here are a couple of examples: The current trend in treatment for
congestive heart failure combines surgery and medicine. Again, it’s completely natural to do a little
extra reading as thoughts crop up during the writing process, but you should complete your core
reading before you start writing. Were the results effectively interpreted and reported. Researchers
conducted a systematic search of meta-analyses and reviewed several databases, collecting 100
primary studies and five meta-analyses to analyze the connection between cholesterol and

Common Grammar Mistakes Writing Concisely Avoiding Plagiarism Footnotes or Endnotes. When
writing, keep in mind that literature reviews are generally characterized by a summary style in which
prior research is described sufficiently to explain critical findings but does not include a high level of
detail (if readers want to learn about all the specific details of a study, then they can look up the
references that you cite and read the original articles themselves). It is generally helpful to draw a
conceptual scheme of the review, e.g., with mind-mapping techniques. I would love to engage my
study under your guidance from the beginning to the end. The WWJOP uniquely also accepts
podcast submissions, so if that’s your preferred format for showcasing your work, then this could be

publications. Methodological If you draw your sources from different disciplines or fields that use a
variety of research methods, you might want to compare the results and conclusions that emerge
from different approaches. A review organized in this manner would shift between time periods
within each section according to the point made. Contributions to the Field: Discuss the overall
contribution of your literature review to the existing knowledge in the field. It may be slight overkill
for an undergraduate-level study, but it certainly won’t be missing anything. When you read research
studies as you’re completing your literature review, it’s wise to question the methods used for each
study. But few scientists are trained in how to write a review — or in what constitutes an excellent
one. Literature reviews provide you with a handy guide to a particular topic. Some chapters can
waffle on for pages and pages and leave the reader thinking, “so what?” So, how do you decide
what’s relevant. For example, if you are reviewing literature about inequalities in migrant health
outcomes, key themes might include healthcare policy, language barriers, cultural attitudes, legal
status, and economic access. A mini-review is not necessarily a minor review: it may well attract
more attention from busy readers, although it will inevitably simplify some issues and leave out
some relevant material due to space limitations. However, particularly in the social sciences, thinking
about research problems from multiple vectors is a key strategy for finding new solutions to a
problem or gaining a new perspective. Finally, don’t forget to tie your previous work to the academic
knowledge that is currently available. When the students have completed their reviews, invite them
to publish their reviews using one of the options on the ReadWriteThink Printing Press. In many
cases, the topic (e.g., web services in computational biology) will automatically define an audience
(e.g., computational biologists), but that same topic may also be of interest to neighbouring fields
(e.g., computer science, biology, etc.). Rule 2: Search and Re-search the Literature After having
chosen your topic and audience, start by checking the literature and downloading relevant papers.
Once you’ve decided on the organizational method for the body of the review, the sections you need
to include in the paper should be easy to figure out. You should always look at examples from your
own discipline and talk to professors or mentors in your field to be sure you understand your
discipline’s conventions, for literature reviews as well as for any other genre. Does it confirm, add
to, or challenge established knowledge. Use quotes sparingly Falk and Mills do not use any direct
quotes. Methodological If you draw your sources from different disciplines or fields that use a
variety of research methods, you might want to compare the results and conclusions that emerge
from different approaches. Literature reviews are designed to provide an overview of sources you
have used in researching a particular topic and to demonstrate to your readers how your research fits
within existing scholarship about the topic. While you probably already have a decent base of this
from your research proposal, you need to expand on this substantially in the dissertation or thesis
itself. Social media, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, TikTok Body image, self-perception,
