Literature Review Video

Literature review is intended to synthesize (and not necessarily to summarize) relevant research on your topic.
To synthesize is to combine two or more elements to form a new whole. In your literature review, the elements are the findings of the literature you select and read; the new whole is the conclusion you draw from these findings.

There are several accepted methods of citing references in the literature survey section and using quotations. Use APA version 7 for citations, quotations, references, and so on.

Literature review helped to 

(1) introduce the subject of study, 

(2) identify the problem statement, and 

(3) build on previous research to offer the basis from which to get to the next steps of the theoretical framework and hypothesis development.
