Whether students are completing a stand-alone assessment or doing a literature review as part of a report or a dissertation, this handy pocket gives them the knowledge and skills to get started with the task at hand.
Students need to read and reflect on a wide range of academic sources in order to successfully complete a literature review, but many find this form of assessment to be particularly challenging. This compact and accessible guide takes the reader step-by-step through the process of completing a literature review, from understanding the brief and finding and selecting sources through to reading strategically, bringing the literature together into themes, and completing the writing.
The authors use examples drawn from a wide range of disciplines and the text is enlivened by helpful diagrams and illustrations to facilitate learning. This is the ideal resource for students who are looking for a practical guide to what’s involved in completing a high-quality literature review.
