A literature review is a summary or an informative report of a selected area of study. It can be a precursor in the introduction of a paper or it can be an entire paper in itself, often the first stage of large research projects, allowing the supervisor to ascertain that the student is on the correct path. However, a literature review is not merely achronological catalog of all of the sources.It is not just a descriptive list of the material available, or a set of summaries It expands upon the reasons behind selecting a particular research question. It will describe, summarise, evaluate and clarify the information metioned in research paper.
