PRESENTATION OF THE LESSON

Activity

Analysis

Abstraction TOPIC 10.1: PURPOSEFUL WRITING IN THE DISCIPLINES AND FOR PROFESSIONS:
WRITING A LITERATURE REVIEW

A literature review is a type of academic writing that provides an overview of a

specific topic. It surveys scholarly work such as academic books (but not
textbooks), computerized databases, conference proceedings,
dissertations/theses, empirical studies government reports, historical records,
journal articles, monographs, and statistical handbooks.

As an advanced form of academic writing, a literature review critically analyzes

the relationship between scholarly works and the current work. It can be written
as a stand-alone paper or as part of a research paper explaining a theoretical
framework and related studies. Unlike an annotated bibliography which presents
a summary and synthesis (i.e., linking different sources).

Functions of a Literature Review:

This type of review has the following roles.

• Justifies research questions, methods, or theoretical and conceptual framework

• Establishes the relevance of the topic

• Provides necessary information to better understand a specific topic or study

• Shows the reviewer's familiarity and mastery of the topic

• Establishes a niche of the study

• Resolves conflict among contradictory studies

Guidelines for Writing a Literature Review

Writing a literature review is composed of three distinct parts -- literature search,

evaluation and analysis of articles, and writing the literature review –all of which
are discussed below.

Literature Search

1. Review the documentation style (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago) that you will adopt
and be familiar with its format in relation to writing a literature review.

2. Choose and focus on a topic that you will explain.

3. Determine the kind and number of sources you will be using. Will your
literature review be exclusive to articles or will it include other documents? Will
you focus on experimental studies or will you also include theoretical papers that
explain a theory?

4. Survey the available online databases relevant to your topic. These include
Proquest, Science Direct, JSTOR, or Google Scholar. As much as possible, include
only the references published by top journals and publishers.

5. Use relevant keywords when searching for scholarly documents or article. For
example, if your topic is about the impact of Facebook-based e-portfolios on the
writing skills of ESL learners, your possible keywords are Facebook, ESL writing, e-
portfolio, portfolio assessment, Facebook-based e-portfolio, and social
networking site.

6. Always include landmark studies or papers (i.e., studies which had remarkably
changed the field) related to your topic.

7. Always evaluate the sources for coverage and currency. Include only those
articles directly related to your topic.

Evaluation and Analysis of Articles

Once you have identified and obtained the articles for your review, analyze them
before writing the actual literature review. To do this, you may apply the
following steps.

1. Skim the articles and read their abstracts.

2. Group the articles and other documents according to their categories.

3. Take down notes. Focus on the research questions, methodology used, major
findings and their explanation, and conclusion.

4. Summarize the details using a concept map. In this way, you will see the
relationships, similarities, and differences among the articles.

5. Write a synthesis of the references you have read before writing the actual
literature review.

6. Create an outline. You may look for other literature reviews to serve as models
for writing the outline.

Writing the Literature Review

Once all the materials are ready and you have a clear outline of the ideas you
 want to express, you may now start the actual writing process.

1. State your thesis or main argument and be guided by it accordingly. Below is

an example of a thesis statement for a literature review.

2. If you say that no studies have been conducted on one aspect of your topic,
justify it.

3. Direct the readers to other related literature reviews that cover items that
you do not intend to cover. You may use the citation format “(see Author, year)”
or follow the format prescribed by your chosen documentation style.

4. Never treat a literature review as a series of annotated bibliography.

5. Use headings and subheadings to classify the parts of your topic. For each
topic heading, analyze the differences among studies and look for gaps. Note
that each paragraph should focus on one aspect of the topic.

6. Use effective transitions to make your review easier to read and understand.

7. The body of the literature review can be organized thematically,

methodologically, or chronologically.

8. Use direct quotations sparingly.

9. Classify important definitions.
