The review of literature is usually easy to find in a primary research paper. Most frequently, it is one of the early sections of the paper and is labelled ‘Review of literature' or ‘Background' or some other comparable term. Review any recent primary research article and notice the way in which the review of the literature is presented. Summarise its main points and decide if you think that
it is an effective review or not.
What will be an ideal response?
The purpose of this topic is to ask the group to consider the different styles of presenting a review of the literature and not to take this for granted. The group could discuss what best worked for them and if there were gaps in information presented. For example if the paper is discussion samples are they reporting a sample size. Only with presenting a sample size can a paper then discuss percentages of that population.
