Literature Review Outline

I. Introduction
a. Describe the overall MAIN topic that you have been investigating:
i. Why is it essential to the field?
ii. Why are you interested in the topic?
iii. What is the reason/point of researching the topic?
b. Give a “big picture” of the literature. Determine the scope (i.e. field/industry) of the topic.
c. Introduce SUPPORTING topics (A, B, and C if necessary)

II. Supporting Topic A
a. Overview of characteristics of the topic (commonalities, differences, nuances)
b. Sub-topic – narrow but grouped findings related to the theme
i. Study 1 (Connect to the topic, Methods/Participants, Related Findings) –What is the relevance of this study to your topic? Connect!
ii. Study 2 (Connect to the topic, Methods/Participants, Related Findings) —What is the relevance of this study to your topic? Connect!
iii. Study 3 (Connect to the topic, Methods/Participants, Related Findings) -What is the relevance of this study to your topic? Connect!
iv. Wrap up for sub-topic, and lead into next sub-topic
c. Sub-topic – narrow but grouped findings related to the theme
i. Study 1 (Connect to the topic, Methods/Participants, Related Findings) –What is the relevance of this study to your topic? Connect!
ii. Study 2 (Connect to the topic, Methods/Participants, Related Findings) —What is the relevance of this study to your topic? Connect!
iii. Study 3 (Connect to the topic, Methods/Participants, Related Findings) -What is the relevance of this study to your topic? Connect!
iv. Wrap up for sub-topic, and lead into next sub-topic
d. Connect with other findings that fit Theme A; studies can be repeated if multiple findings fit under more than one theme. However, no

need to re-write methods/participants in detail (just enough to remind the reader about the study).
 POINT: Wrap up for Topic A, and lead into Topic B

III. Supporting Topic B – follow a, b, c, and so on from above,

IV. Keep repeating with themes if necessary

V. Conclusion: An evaluation/critique of the existing literature. Write several paragraphs.
a. What are the contributions of this literature to the field?
b. What are the overall strengths?
c. What are the overall weaknesses?
d. What might be missing?
e. What are some next steps for research? The next steps should explicitly address how to “correct” for strengths, weaknesses, and gaps.

REMEMBER: Establish relevance to topic throughout
