ABSTRACT

A literature review can be an informative, critical, and useful synthe-

sis of a particular topic. It can identify what is known (and unknown)

in the subject area, identify areas of controversy or debate, and help

formulate questions that need further research. There are several

commonly used formats for literature reviews, including systematic

reviews conducted as primary research projects; reviews written as

an introduction and foundation for a research study, such as a thesis

or dissertation; and reviews as secondary data analysis research pro-

jects. Regardless of the type, a good review is characterized by the au-

thor’s efforts to evaluate and critically analyze the relevant work in

the field. Published reviews can be invaluable, because they collect

and disseminate evidence from diverse sources and disciplines to in-

form professional practice on a particular topic. This directed reading

will introduce the learner to the process of conducting and writing

their own literature review.
