A Literature review is a body of text that aims to review the critical points of current knowledge on a particular topic. Most often associated with science-oriented literature
such as a thesis
the literature review usually precedes a research proposal
methodology and results section. Its ultimate goal is to bring the reader up to date with current literature on a topic and forms the basis for another goal
such as the justification for future research in the area. A good literature review is characterised by: a logical flow of ideas; current and relevant references with consistent
appropriate referencing style; proper use of terminology; and an unbiassed and prehensive view on the topic. According to Cooper (1988) "a literature review uses as its database reports of primary or original scholarship
and does not report new primary scholarship itself. The primary reports used in the literature may be verbal
but in the vast majority of cases reports are written documents. The types of scholarship may be empirical
theoretical
critical/ *** ytic
or methodological in nature. Second a literature review seeks to describe
summarise
evaluate
clarify and/or integrate the content of primary reports". Source: Cooper
