Annotated Bibliography vs. Lit Review
Annotated bibliography is basically a set of notes on each reference
Lit review flows in scientific/technical style
Lit review compares/contrasts/links various references and is far more analytical
Writing the Literature Review
Break the review into thematic sections
Prioritize the sections Maintain focus
– relate literature to your research hypotheses
Literature Review Style
Document every statement of fact Use scientific/technical style:
– use 3rd person– follow citation style of foremost journals and other
theses/dissertations– no jargon– smooth transition between sections
“Smith (1999) asserted that…” “Yosida (1961) found that…” “In early work, Conti (1953) suggested that…” “blah blah blah (e.g. Rangel, 1998; Mason,
2003)”
