    This document provides guidance on conducting a literature review for qualitative research. It establishes that a literature review should provide context, contain a critical analysis of previous studies, and draw analytical conclusions. A literature review demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of the field by critically engaging with significant work and drawing on different perspectives. It also establishes the theoretical or conceptual framework for a study. A theoretical framework provides a lens for viewing the world while a conceptual framework organizes ideas and supports the research design. The key points are to summarize the topic, state the grand theory, demonstrate knowledge of previous research, identify gaps, and refine the research questions in the broader context.

    Questions to Consider
    ● What do we already know about the proposed topic?
    ● Has anyone else ever conducted the same study?
    ● Has anyone else even conducted a similar study?
    ● How is the work situated when compared with completed works?
    ● What do we still need to know about the proposed topic?
    ● Why is this research word doing in the light of other research already
    completed?
    ● What assumptions about the topic are apparent in the literature?

    Taking a Critical Stance
    Literature Review ● Demonstrate comprehensive
