Literature Reviews
-
But how is a literature review different from an academic research
paper?
While the main focus of an academic research paper is to support your
own argument, the focus of a literature review is to summarize and synthesize
the arguments and ideas of others. -
- Roughly how many sources should you include?
- What types of sources (books, journal articles, websites)?
- Should you summarize, synthesize, or critique your sources by discussing
a common theme or issue? - Should you evaluate your sources?
- Should you provide subheadings and other background information,
such as definitions and/or a history
