A Lit Review, how to do

Advice from David Taylor on How to write a literature Review in 30 Minutes or less

Strip the summary / an annotated bibliography
source citations and give a detailed summary. Each paragraph starts with the in-text citations.

Reorder paragraphs

  • Reread paragraph summaries.
  • Find similarity and differences.
  • Reorder the paragraphs into logical lists based on the connections you find.


Potential Arrangement

  • Cause-Effect
  • Problem-Solution
  • Series of Advances
  • Myths- Realities 
  • Ancient-Modern
  • Effective-Ineffective

Combine paragraphs (if necessary)

  • How closely related of the summaries?
  • How long will the paragraph be?
  • Limiting myself to 10 to 14 lines is apparently ideal.


Add Topic Sentences and Transitions

Add Introduction and conclusion
