how to write a literary review

This tutorial focuses on writing a chapter-length literature review. However, the five key points presented here will be useful for other forms of literature review:

• a single chapter
• segmented into a series of chapters on several topics
• embedded in successive thematic chapters
• a section of the introduction (in most theses there will be a short review here to justify the research, even when there is a longer review elsewhere).
