Literature is an oral or written record of man’s significant experiences that are expressed
in an ordinary manner. It is conveyed directly or indirectly. Direct expressions are in books,
journals, periodic papers, and online reading materials. Indirect expressions are not written or
spoken at all but is mirror image of his environment (Ridley 2012).
The Review of Related Literature is one of the main components of a research study,
specifically in the second chapter. It gives an overview of all the writings relative to a specific
topic (Prieto, Naval & Carey, 2017). Therefore, selecting the right sources for the literature
review is very important in producing a quality research paper.
A review of related literature is the process of collecting, selecting, and reading books,
journals, reports, abstracts, and other reference materials. The following information may be
collected:
1) Background knowledge about the problem and associated ideas.
2) Theories that give details of the presence of the problem and certain variables that is
connected to the problem.
3) Data that prove the occurrence and gravity of the problem
4) Detailed and broad results of related studies
5) Gaps and recommendations for additional study specified in related studies
The significance and rationale of related literature and studies is to find out the
similarities and differences between the past and present studies, to get ideas into the critical and
controversial aspects of the problem. It helps recognize and define a research problem. It gives
the researcher a background analysis aspect, which have been studied. It guides the researcher on
what to do on the mechanism of the research methods; this also provides the thoughts to advance
with the study until its conclusion. It avoids redundant duplication of a study. Moreover, reading
extensively will enrich your background knowledge on your research topic that will enable you
to establish a good groundwork or course of your research endeavor.
Remember Me!
1) A Review of the Related Literature provides a concise summary of information and data
findings that describe current knowledge and facts.
2) It provides foundation of knowledge on a topic. It identifies areas of prior scholarship to
prevent duplication and give credits to researchers. It helps selects appropriate material in
designing your research methodology and find relationship among researches.
3) A good literature involves 5c’s; Cite, Compare, Contrast, Critique and Connect.
4) There are two sources of literature review; the primary sources which contains the first-hand
information and the secondary sources which contains non-original information.
5) There are five types of literature. It includes theoretical literature, research literature, empirical
research, practice literature and policy literature.
