Writing an Integrated Literature Review
One of the most important sections of a research report is the literature review. In this section, researchers are expected to provide their readers with a “map” of the topic. The review is supposed to tell readers about the theoretical concepts that are related to their research questions and to give readers an accurate picture of previous research on this topic. However, many students simply summarize whatever they have read on their topic without showing the reader how these separate pieces of information fit together to form an integrated whole.
