Literature Reviews guide
Synthesis is the point
A literature review is not a list of summaries. It brings sources into conversation, showing where findings agree, where they conflict, and why.
Writers group studies by theme or method and compare them directly, which is what markers look for.
Searching the right databases
Writers search subject-specific databases such as PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, JSTOR and Scopus, using documented search terms and inclusion criteria.
For systematic reviews, the search and screening process can be reported with a PRISMA flow diagram.
Organising the review
Reviews can be organised by theme, by methodology, or chronologically. Your writer chooses the structure that best answers your question, or follows your instructor's preference.
A synthesis matrix can be included to show how each source was analysed.
Finding the gap
A strong review ends by identifying what the research hasn't answered yet. For dissertations, that gap becomes the justification for your own study.
Writers make this argument explicit so it connects to the rest of your project.
