APA Styling – Writing a Literature Review Paper

A literature review paper critically summarizes previous empirical literature on a specific topic/question. Writing a literature review paper demonstrates strong familiarity with work in the field surrounding research interest.

A literature review paper normally contains the following:

1. Title page
2. Introduction
3. Main body
4. List of references

Some important tips to consider when writing a literature review paper:

• Divide paper into topics; do not just write about the first article, then second article, etc.
• Do not write the literature review chronologically, unless pertinent to the topic/question being answered
