Do you have an assignment where you need to conduct a literature review on a topic but are not sure what literature reviews are, or how to find them?
A literature review examines the significant works (books, scholarly articles, dissertations, and other works) on a particular issue, area of research, or theory and provides a critical evaluation or analysis of each work in relation to the problem or topic being investigated.
To learn more, see the Literature Review guide.
