A literature review uses past research to support new research. It provides background information and builds a logical argument to back its conclusions (Machi et al., 2022).
There are various types of literature reviews, each with its own methodology and purpose. Understanding these differences is crucial for selecting the most appropriate review type for your research objectives.
Discover the most suitable type of review for your needs by consulting the Cornell University Decision Tree or/and check the table for more details.
