6 Guidelines in Writing Literature Review

Answer 45

1. Review the documentation style (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago) that you will adopt and be familiar with its format in relation to writing a literature review.
   What do I need to document?

2. Choose and focus on a topic that you will explain.
3. Determine the kind and number of sources you will be using. Will your literature review be exclusive to articles or will it include other documents? Will you focus on experimental studies or will you also include theoretical papers that explain a theory?
4. Survey the available online databases relevant to your topic. These include Proquest, Science Direct, JSTOR, or Google Scholar. As much as possible, include only the references published by top journals and publishers.
5. Use relevant keywords when searching for scholarly documents or article.
6. Always evaluate the sources for coverage and currency. Include only those article directly related to your topic.
