Introduction
Literature reviews form part of most academic research papers. They are sections of research
papers that detail critical points about the current knowledge and methodology already used in certain
topical areas of research. They form part of secondary sources of information and as such do not contain
any original and new information in a certain topic of research. These sections usually appear on
research papers before research proposal sections and results section. Literature reviews bring readers
up to date with present information and research results in a certain topic and helps to form a basis for
future studies or research that may be necessary along these lines. Literature reviews should not be
biased. They should be logical in structuring the information sequentially and with relevant referencing.
Preparing a literature review draft offers the writer a clear outline to follow when conducting the
research as well as when writing up the research report. There are two applicable tools in the writing of
a literature review. These are a literature outline template and literature map. In this case I will employ
the use of an outline template. That generally divides the topics to be covered into main topics and sub-
topics under the main topics. The flow of the outline will form the basis of how the paper will be
structured as well as how the research shall flow (Cone & Foster, 2006).
