A literature review is “the selection of
available documents (both published and

information, ideas, data and evidence written
from a particular standpoint to fulfill certain
aims or express certain views on the nature
of the topic and how it is to be investigated,
and the effective evaluation of these
documents in relation to the research being
proposed” (Hart, 1998, p. 13).
