Literature Review

A literature review makes connections across research in an existing area of study. It evaluates multiple sources and draws conclusions about the primary themes. It also suggests opportunities for future research and may be presented either as a standalone document or part of a larger research project.

When you do a literature review, you find, read, analyse, and synthesize existing research. You demonstrate that you understand what has been written on the subject so far, and are now in a position to contribute to further research.
