Organization of ROL
A common error in literature reviews is for writers to present material from one author,
followed by information from another, then another.... The way in which you group authors
and link ideas will help avoid this problem. To group authors who draw similar
conclusions, you can use linking words such as:
• also
• additionally
• again
• Similarly
USE MULTIPLE CITATIONS to put together parallel ideas and findings.
When authors disagree, linking words that indicate contrast will
show how you have analyzed their work.
