Notes

The literature review is an essential part of a research paper. It informs the reader about the former and current trends in thinking on a topic, the research that has already been done and has not been done, and gaps in the literature. That gap is the perfect opportunity to introduce your research and explain how it advances knowledge in the field, supports or refutes other research, and suggest paths for further research.
