A concise definition of a topic under consideration (this may be a
descriptive or argumentative thesis, or proposal),
as well as the scope of the related
literature being investigated.
·
The introduction should also note intentional
exclusions. (Example: “This review will not explore the diaries
of adolescent girls.”)
·
Another purpose of the introduction is to
state the general findings of the
review (what do mos

t of the sources
conclude), and comment on the
availability of sources
in the subject area.
2.
Main Body:
·
There are many ways to organize the evaluation of the sources.
Chronological and thematic approaches are each useful examples. I recommend thematic for your
research.
·
Each work should be critically summarized and
evaluated for its premise, methodology, and conclusion. It is as
important to address inconsistencies, omissions, and errors, as it is to
identify accuracy, depth, and relevance.
·
Use logical connections and transitions to connect sources.
3.
Conclusion
·
The conclusion summarizes the key findings of the review in general terms. Notable
commonalities between works, whether favourable or not, may
be included here.
·
This section is the reviewer’s opportunity to
justify a research proposal.
Therefore, the idea should be clearly re-stated
and supported according to
the findings of the review.
