Selecting Relevant Literature
• Literature, in the context of research, refers to a
collection of published information or materials on a
particular area of research or topic, such as books and
journal articles of academic value.
• On the other hand, a literature review is a process of
studying what has already been written on a particular
topic. The process involves identifying, locating, and
analyzing documents that contain information related
to a researcher’s research topic (Avilla, 2016). Likewise,
Aveyard (2010) defined it as a "comprehensive study
and interpretation of literature that addresses a specific
topic."
Selecting Relevant Literature
Prieto, et. al (2017) listed down the purposes for which literature
review is done:
GOALS OF LITERATURE REVIEW:
1. To demonstrate a familiarity with a body of knowledge and establish credibility .
A good review increases a reader’s confidence in the researcher’s professional
competence, ability and background.
2. To show the path of prior research and how a current project is linked to it . A
good review places a research project in a context and demonstrates its relevance by
making connections to a body of knowledge.
3. To integrate and summarize what is known in an area. A good review points out
areas where prior studies agree, where they disagree and where major questions remain.
It also indicates the directions for future research.
4. To learn from others and stimulate new ideas. A good review identifies blind
alleys and suggests hypotheses for replication and gain new insights.
