Literature Reviews
Doing a literature review…
Most projects and dissertations you do will ask you for a literature review. They are just as important as referencing and is a process that involves sourcing, reading, organising and analysing literature. It is also a product that involves communicating your understanding and interpretation of that literature.
Why are they important?
They are important for many reasons:
- To set your research in context and identify how it builds on earlier research.
- To set out your ideas, sub-sections and concepts clearly, and explore and evaluate them.
- To create a structure that will help you (and your readers) navigate and understand the literature.
- To refer back to and help you to analyse your own results and provide potential reasons to explain what you have found.
Take a critical view
Doing a review requires more than just finding the relevant resources and information,
Your critical review
Your critical review will allow you to create an argument that exposes a research problem. In many ways, creating a literature review is very similar to doing a jigsaw puzzle in that you’ll need to consider how all the pieces of the puzzle fit together to present the bigger picture and identify and missing gaps.

Evaluating Material
Rather than just accepting what is written, look at the references at the end of an article and follow them up. Use your gut – does this look accurate? Do you agree with the interpretation presented in the article?
Use your own judgement and assess whether the sources are reliable.
