The Main Idea
The Literature Review undertakes a critical analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of existing important studies and research and should show which issues require new or further study - this should indicate how the body of knowledge could be improved. For the research you are undertaking you should aim to conduct a literature review that argues for, and demonstrates the value of, the work you are doing.

The Literature Review should focus on credible sources and should be critical, in that the strengths and weaknessesof the sources in relation to your topic / question are discussed and understood. It is important to look for credible sources - that is ones that can be trusted.
Reading and Taking Notes

- What is the main idea/argument/position that the author is presenting?
- What are the strengths of the idea/argument/position?
