The Literature Review

The purpose of a literature review is to evaluate and integrate research related to your topic to establish a research-based framework, define key terms, and position your work in the ongoing academic conversation.

• Analyze key findings on the proposed solution to the problem or issue represented by the articles you reviewed.
• Evaluate any potential ethical concerns in conducting the research that was addressed or not addressed.
