Tips on Writing a Literature Review

Please note that a common error in literature reviews is for writers to present material from one author followed by information from another and then another… You SHOULD NOT do this when writing your literature review. A good literature review should meet the following requirements (Caulley, 1992):

Compare and contrast authors’ views on an issue
Group authors who draw similar conclusions
Critique aspects of methodology
Note areas in which authors are in disagreement
Highlight exemplary studies
Highlight gaps in research
Conclude by summarizing what the literature says
A literature review can also identify methodologies used by previous researchers to study a problem. Questionnaires, measurement scales, statistical techniques and research designs from other studies should be examined and adapted to meet the needs of the new study.
