Writing you lit review:

What is a literature review (for)?
 Establishes the terms and context. How else will you define
exactly what you’re looking at and where its limits are?
 Presents a survey of preceding literature on the topic. How
else will you know what’s been done already?
 Explores ways that others have solved similar
questions/problems. How else will you select an appropriate
methodology and approach?
 Outlines the relationship of these texts to each other. How
else will you know what the different perspectives and debates are,
and where you are coming from?
 Evaluates the quality and relevance of the literature. How
else will you be able to build on or reject it?
 Establishes the gaps or inadequacies. How else will you justify
your own contribution?
 Demonstrates your scholarly rigor. How else can I have faith in
your conclusions?
