REVIEW OF LITERATURE
A literature review is a synthesis of what is available on your research topic. This synthesis brings
together the findings of various sources to explain the general understanding of the subject,
thereby laying the groundwork for the question of research and primary research. While a
literature review cites sources and should discuss the credibility of the included sources, this is
not only an annotated bibliography. The literature review must examine all the important sources
on a subject, whether they support the claims you will eventually work on.
