    How to Write a Literature Review?

    The first step towards writing a literature review would be to select some already published
    literature works on a particular subject. For example, if you have selected literature as your
    subject, where you can choose a novel, short story or essay as your area of study. Once you do
    this, the next step would be to collect all the research material that has already been done by
    experts of the subject. You need not stick only to books for collecting information, rather you
    can also make use of the facilities offered by the Internet, where you can find all the information
    you want. The only thing you have to keep in mind is that all information that you have gathered
    are relevant as well as reliable.

    Before writing the literature review, read every piece of literature related to your subject. It is
    important to acquire detailed information about every aspect of that particular subject. Once you
    feel that you have understood it very well, it is time to put your analysis on paper. Your review
    paper should be an amalgamation of the summary and critical review of related literature.

    Literature Review Format


    Before you start writing your literature review, it would be really beneficial if you create a
    literature review outline, where you have to chart out the way in which you would organize all
    the information that you have accumulated. After doing this, you can set out with your literature
    review. The literature review format that you have to follow is similar to that of the other essays.
    The literature review should begin with the thesis statement, where the student has to explain the
    central idea of the whole review in a sentence. This is followed by the introduction, main body
    which is divided into sub-parts for every new point and finally the conclusion.

    The literature review should first summarize whatever knowledge you have gathered from the
    existing literature reviews. Followed by this would be the critical evaluation that you have done.
    This part should not include what other's have said about the particular subject, but your point of
    view. It should reflect your perspective and what you think about it. One should remember that
    every paragraph in the literature review should relate to the thesis statement given at the
    beginning.

    While writing the literature review, one can mention some related literature reviews to explain or
    prove a point of view. However, it is important to acknowledge the fact that you have borrowed
    the idea from someone else. This is called documentation and an important part of literature
    review. The documentation method that you would have to follow could be different in different
    institutions. You may be asked to follow the APA style or the MLA style, according to which
    you have to prepare the bibliography and other required documentation.

    Writing a literature review is a way of developing critical thinking skills. Knowing the literature
    review format well would definitely aid you in arranging the acquired information in an
    organized manner.
