Introduction The start of a research article providing background information and an overview of the research presented in the article.
In this lesson, you will learn about the role the literature review The process of summarizing, synthesizing and/or critiquing literature around a specific topic/idea.

You will examine multiple types of literature reviews and determine the use of identifying a “gap” in literature.
Additionally, you will explore ways to search for research to include in your literature review and walk through a resource for organizing your research.
There are multiple ways to approach a literature review and over time, you’ll figure out your preferred flow as you gain more experience. This lesson will provide general guidelines to get you started.
