How many references should a literature review include, and how much review of related literature is enough?

What will be an ideal response?


Ans: The answer to this question varies because literature bases are different in different fields and for different topics, so it is important for researchers to do a thorough review of available literature but not get bogged down in conducting a review. A good rule of thumb is that a review is pretty comprehensive once the same authors and citations begin appearing in new articles being reviewed. It is also helpful to know the names of important researchers in the field, as their work will both be cited more frequently and will typically be well researched. There is no single number of articles or sources that should be consulted when constructing a literature review.
