A literature review is an evaluation of the current literature
on a specific topic that is being researched. The literature
review should describe, summarize, and clarify the literature
being reviewed. A literature review should be more than just
writing about the current literature on a topic. It should
give information that can be read, analyzed, and evaluated.
The purpose of a literature review is to find literature on
a topic and do a careful evaluation of it. It is important
to use the most recent information available. The literature
review should provide a context for the research such as for
a dissertation. It should show how the research supports the
thesis of a research project. A literature review surveys
scholarly journal articles, books, dissertations, and relevant
websites. The literature review should have a conclusion presenting
an argument about the importance of the literature review.
