The purpose of this literature review is to provide an in-depth overview of research pertinent to the subject topic. You will need to identify current relevant research papers (i.e. published since 2015); classify your selected papers; and use your references to “tell the story” (i.e. how other researchers support this topic). The focus of the literature review must be on IT projects.
Your final research paper should contain a title page, an introduction, an overview of literature review, a results/discussion section, a section on conclusion and recommendations, and a reference page.
The introduction of this literature review should include the research question and purpose, scope of the literature review, significance of the topic study, and background information. This section sets the theoretical framework for your research paper.
Overview of Literature Review
This section of your literature review should summarize the findings of relevant studies that you have identified and selected. For each study, you should briefly explain its purpose, procedure for data collection and major findings. In addition, discuss the strengths and weaknesses of particular studies.
Remember that a literature review should not be a listing of articles or researchers but rather a flowing article incorporating both prose and citations.
Results/Discussion
This section should synthesize and analyzes the literature with focus on central ideas relevant to the topic; critically evaluate sources and perspectives; highlight any consensus or disagreement on the topic; identify gaps and controversies, as well as study limitations if relevant.
Conclusion and Recommendations
This section should briefly summarize key literature review results and provides a compelling argument/conclusion that is appropriately qualified (given study limitations). In addition, provide recommendations for future research.
