Literature Review  is a comprehensive survey of the works published in a particular field of study or line of research, usually over a specific period of time, in the form of an in-depth, critical bibliographic essay or annotated list in which attention is drawn to the most significant works.

Also, we can define a literature review as the collected body of scholarly works related to a topic:

• Summarizes and analyzes previous research relevant to a topic
• Includes scholarly books and articles published in academic journals
• Can be an specific scholarly paper or a section in a research paper

The objective of a Literature Review is to find previous published scholarly works relevant to an specific topic

• Help gather ideas or information
• Keep up to date in current trends and findings
• Help develop new questions

A literature review is important because it:

• Explains the background of research on a topic.
• Demonstrates why a topic is significant to a subject area.
• Helps focus your own research questions or problems
• Discovers relationships between research studies/ideas.
• Suggests unexplored ideas or populations
• Identifies major themes, concepts, and researchers on a topic.
• Tests assumptions; may help counter preconceived ideas and remove unconscious bias.
• Identifies critical gaps, points of disagreement, or potentially flawed methodology or theoretical approaches.
• Indicates potential directions for future research.

All content in this section is from Literature Review Research from Old Dominion University 

Keep in mind the following, a literature review is NOT:

Not an essay 

Not an annotated bibliography  in which you summarize each article that you have reviewed.  A literature review goes beyond basic summarizing to focus on the critical analysis of the reviewed works and their relationship to your research question.

Not a research paper   where you select resources to support one side of an issue versus another.  A lit review should explain and consider all sides of an argument in order to avoid bias, and areas of agreement and disagreement should be highlighted.

A literature review serves several purposes. For example, it

• provides thorough knowledge of previous studies; introduces seminal works.
• helps focus one’s own research topic.
• identifies a conceptual framework for one’s own research questions or problems; indicates potential directions for future research.
• suggests previously unused or underused methodologies, designs, quantitative and qualitative strategies.
• identifies gaps in previous studies; identifies flawed methodologies and/or theoretical approaches; avoids replication of mistakes.
• helps the researcher avoid repetition of earlier research.
• suggests unexplored populations.
• determines whether past studies agree or disagree; identifies controversy in the literature.
• tests assumptions; may help counter preconceived ideas and remove unconscious bias.

As Kennedy (2007) notes*, it is important to think of knowledge in a given field as consisting of three layers. First, there are the primary studies that researchers conduct and publish. Second are the reviews of those studies that summarize and offer new interpretations built from and often extending beyond the original studies. Third, there are the perceptions, conclusions, opinion, and interpretations that are shared informally that become part of the lore of field. In composing a literature review, it is important to note that it is often this third layer of knowledge that is cited as "true" even though it often has only a loose relationship to the primary studies and secondary literature reviews.

Given this, while literature reviews are designed to provide an overview and synthesis of pertinent sources you have explored, there are several approaches to how they can be done, depending upon the type of analysis underpinning your study. Listed below are definitions of types of literature reviews:

Argumentative Review      This form examines literature selectively in order to support or refute an argument, deeply imbedded assumption, or philosophical problem already established in the literature. The purpose is to develop a body of literature that establishes a contrarian viewpoint. Given the value-laden nature of some social science research [e.g., educational reform; immigration control], argumentative approaches to analyzing the literature can be a legitimate and important form of discourse. However, note that they can also introduce problems of bias when they are used to to make summary claims of the sort found in systematic reviews.

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 body of literature includes all studies that address related or identical hypotheses. A well-done integrative review meets the same standards as primary research in regard to clarity, rigor, and replication.

Historical Review      Few things rest in isolation from historical precedent. Historical reviews are focused on examining research throughout a period of time, often starting with the first time an issue, concept, theory, phenomena emerged in the literature, then tracing its evolution within the scholarship of a discipline. The purpose is to place research in a historical context to show familiarity with state-of-the-art developments and to identify the likely directions for future research.

Methodological Review      A review does not always focus on what someone said [content], but how they said it [method of analysis]. This approach provides a framework of understanding at different levels (i.e. those of theory, substantive fields, research approaches and data collection and analysis techniques), enables researchers to draw on a wide variety of knowledge ranging from the conceptual level to practical documents for use in fieldwork in the areas of ontological and epistemological consideration, quantitative and qualitative integration, sampling, interviewing, data collection and data analysis, and helps highlight many ethical issues which we should be aware of and consider as we go through our study.

Systematic Review      This form consists of an overview of existing evidence pertinent to a clearly formulated research question, which uses pre-specified and standardized methods to identify and critically appraise relevant research, and to collect, report, and analyse data from the studies that are included in the review. Typically it focuses on a very specific empirical question, often posed in a cause-and-effect form, such as "To what extent does A contribute to B?"

Theoretical Review      The purpose of this form is to concretely examine the corpus of theory that has accumulated in regard to an issue, concept, theory, phenomena. The theoretical literature review help establish what theories already exist, the relationships between them, to what degree the existing theories have been investigated, and to develop new hypotheses to be tested. Often this form is used to help establish a lack of appropriate theories or reveal that current theories are inadequate for explaining new or emerging research problems. The unit of analysis can focus on a theoretical concept or a whole theory or framework.

What's in the name? The difference between a Systematic Review and a Literature Review, and why it matters . By Lynn Kysh from University of Southern California

Systematic review or meta-analysis?

A  systematic review  answers a defined research question by collecting and summarizing all empirical evidence that fits pre-specified eligibility criteria.

A  meta-analysis  is the use of statistical methods to summarize the results of these studies.

Systematic reviews, just like other research articles, can be of varying quality. They are a significant piece of work (the Centre for Reviews and Dissemination at York estimates that a team will take 9-24 months), and to be useful to other researchers and practitioners they should have:

• clearly stated objectives with pre-defined eligibility criteria for studies
• explicit, reproducible methodology
• a systematic search that attempts to identify all studies
• assessment of the validity of the findings of the included studies (e.g. risk of bias)
• systematic presentation, and synthesis, of the characteristics and findings of the included studies

Not all systematic reviews contain meta-analysis. 

Meta-analysis is the use of statistical methods to summarize the results of independent studies. By combining information from all relevant studies, meta-analysis can provide more precise estimates of the effects of health care than those derived from the individual studies included within a review.  More information on meta-analyses can be found in  Cochrane Handbook, Chapter 9 .

A meta-analysis goes beyond critique and integration and conducts secondary statistical analysis on the outcomes of similar studies.  It is a systematic review that uses quantitative methods to synthesize and summarize the results.

An advantage of a meta-analysis is the ability to be completely objective in evaluating research findings.  Not all topics, however, have sufficient research evidence to allow a meta-analysis to be conducted.  In that case, an integrative review is an appropriate strategy.

What is a review article? A review article is a type of secondary literature that talks about previously published work. “Review articles give an overview of existing literature in a field, often identifying specific problems or issues and analysing information from available published work on the topic with a balanced perspective.” 6 Article types that journals publish: A guide for early career researchers - Kakoli Majumder - Available at: http://www.editage.com/insights/6-article-types-that-journals-publish-a-guide-for-early-career-researchers

Types of review articles Today, we’ll understand how to write a literature review. Systematic reviews Literature reviews Meta-analyses

What is a literature review? A literature review is a critical summary of all the published works on a particular topic. It analyzesspecific issues. It identifies trends in research. It points out research gaps in existing literature. How a literature review helps scientists and readers • Scientists are able to: • Learn about developments in the field • Find gaps in research • Identify new topics of research • Readers are able to: • Form an idea about the current state of understanding on a topic • Decide whether to read each article individually

How to write a literature review • You can write your literature review using one of the following approaches: Chronological Thematic

The chronological approach Describe each work in succession, starting with the earliest available information. TIPS for using the chronological approach • Use this structure when you want to focus on how ideas or methodology have progressed over time. • Group and discuss your sources in order of their publication date. • Record the research and developments in each group. • Check how the field has developed over the years. Do all studies discuss a common topic? • Example: how models for treatment methods for skin cancer in children have developed over a specific period Vector designed by www.freepik.com

The thematic approach Organize and discuss existing literature based on themes or theoretical concepts you feel are important to understanding the topic. TIPS for using the thematic approach • Remember that you need to do much more than summarizing each study. • Analyzeexisting knowledge on the topic with regard to certain important issues. • Draw the readers’ attention to new angles or perspectives. • Start listing citations you may include in your paper. Vector designed by www.freepik.com

Structure of a literature review A literature review typically has five sections: Introduction Methods Body Discussion & Conclusion Reference list

What you should include in each section (1/5) Set some context; provide information about the field of study, the relevance of the chosen topic within the field, and the focus of the literature review. Introduction Introduction

What you should include in each section (2/5) Introduction Set some context; provide information about the field of study, the relevance of the chosen topic within the field, and the focus of the literature review. Help readers understand your approach, describe the criteria used to select the sources or the way in which you have presented information. Methods

What you should include in each section (3/5) Introduction Set some context; provide information about the field of study, the relevance of the chosen topic within the field, and the focus of the literature review. Help readers understand your approach, describe the criteria used to select the sources or the way in which you have presented information. Methods A chronological model has different paragraphs for different time periods; a thematic model has subtopics based on the different themes. Body

What you should include in each section (4/5) Introduction Set some context; provide information about the field of study, the relevance of the chosen topic within the field, and the focus of the literature review. Help readers understand your approach, describe the criteria used to select the sources or the way in which you have presented information. Methods A chronological model has different paragraphs for different time periods; a thematic model has subtopics based on the different themes. Body Summarize the main contributions of significant studies, raise and discuss questions about the topic and field, clearly mention gaps in research, if any, and possible suggestions for further study. Discussion & Conclusion

What you should include in each section (5/5) Introduction Set some context; provide information about the field of study, the relevance of the chosen topic within the field, and the focus of the literature review. Help readers understand your approach, describe the criteria used to select the sources or the way in which you have presented information. Methods A chronological model has different paragraphs for different time periods; a thematic model has subtopics based on the different themes. Body Summarize the main contributions of significant studies, raise and discuss questions about the topic and field, clearly mention gaps in research, if any, and possible suggestions for further study. Discussion & Conclusion Prepare a complete reference list that includes every important detail of all the sources you have referred to. Reference list Source: A young researcher's guide to writing a literature review, Available from http://www.editage.com/insights/a-young-researchers-guide-to-writing-a-literature-review

Final checklist (1/2) The topic must be interesting to you; it should also be well-defined and important to the field. Choose the right topic Check the literature you have chosen Monitor the papers you have chosen to review, make changes to your bibliography, if required; prepare a complete reference list. Write interesting bits of information or ideas as you read so that you don’t miss important points when writing the review. Take notes while reading Decide whether you should use a thematic or chronological approach, based on the amount and type of material you have. Decide the format of your review Keep the focus specific and interest general While you focus on a specific topic, make sure your review is also relevant to a broader audience who may want to know more about the field.

Final checklist (2/2) Cover the main findings in the reviewed field, include topics that are most debated, add your own thoughts instead of reporting what has been said. Analyze critically, don’t summarize Use a flowchart to map the flow of ideas in your literature review, and ensure that readers get a critical overview of research in the field. Get the structure right Seek feedback from colleagues and peers, and get more perspectives from senior colleagues before submitting your literature review for publication. Rely on feedback Avoid sounding as though you are overly critical or in favor of previous research; objectively present the strengths and weaknesses of previous studies. Be objective It is not necessary to only include the latest studies in your review; include older papers that made a high impact or that discussed the topic you are interested in. Include older studies Source: Ten Simple Rules for Writing a Literature Review, DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003149

10 Best Literature Review Templates for Scholars and Researchers [Free PDF Attached]

Imagine being in a new country and taking a road trip without GPS. You would be so lost. Right? Similarly, think about delving into a topic without having a clue or proper understanding of the reason behind studying it. 

That’s when a well-written literature review comes to the rescue. It provides a proper direction to the topic being studied. 

The literature review furnishes a descriptive overview of the existing knowledge relevant to the research statement. It is a crucial step in the research process as it enables you to establish the theoretical roots of your field of interest, elucidate your ideas, and develop a suitable methodology. A literature review can include information from various sources, such as journals, books, documents, and other academic materials. This promotes in-depth understanding and analytical thinking, thereby helping in critical evaluation.

Regardless of the type of literature review — evaluative, exploratory, instrumental, systematic, and meta-analysis, a well-written article consists of three basic elements: introduction, body, and conclusion. Also its essence blooms in creating new knowledge through the process of review, critique, and synthesis.
