Steps in writing a literature review
Identify key terms to search for
Initial literature search
Meeting with your course tutor will give you an opportunity to discuss ideas and
your topic, and this will give you key terms to search for in the databases.
Examine hits of initial search:
Make notes – which articles are relevant?
Read and make notes from key sources
Examine notes and write into a table.
Develop structure or plan of the literature review
Write review
Summary
What are the key theories, concepts and ideas?
What are the key studies that have been done in the area?
Where does your study fit in with these studies and the theories?
Has the literature you have looked at been analysed and critiqued?
Does your literature review have a structure? I.e. it is not just a list
of references or studies.
