Are you a student writing a literature review for a dissertation? Or an early career academic? Or a member of staff moving into a research role from practice? Are you fed up with the how-to guides that are themselves confusing and mystified by what the literature review is for? Or maybe you have had some comments back saying your review is descriptive, and you don't understand why? This blog could be for you. There are explanations of what the literature is and does, honed over many years as I have sought to make these things clear for my own students and staff I mentor, as well as practical tips and discussions of frequently asked questions (How do I know I've read enough? Should I use old literature? Why do I need a literature review anyway?). I hope you find this blog useful -- drop me a line and let me know what you think. And if you have suggestions for other posts, I'd love to hear them 😊
