Core Concepts

What is a literature review?

A literature review is a summary and analysis of existing research on a specific topic. Instead of presenting your own findings, it examines what other researchers have already discovered, identifies patterns and gaps in the evidence, and explains how your research fits into the broader body of knowledge. In the Introduction to Research Literature program, you will understand what is already known and what questions remain unanswered in the research topic you are working on.
