Writing a Literature
Review and Proposal
From Cone and Foster (2006)
General Guidelines to
Writing a Literature Review
◼ Introduce the literature review by pointing
out the major research topic that will be
discussed
◼ Identify the broad problem area but don’t
be too global (for example, discussing the history of
education when the topic is on specific instructional
strategy)
◼ Discuss the general importance of your
topic for those in your field
General Guidelines to
Writing a Literature Review
◼ Don’t attempt to cover everything written
on your topic
◼ You will need to pick out the research
most relevant to the topic you are
studying
◼ You will use the studies in your literature
review as “evidence” that your research
question is an important one
General Guidelines to
Writing a Literature Review
◼ You will need to plan how you will
structure your literature review and
write from this plan.
Several Ways You Might
Organize A Literature Review
◼ Topical Order—organize by main topics or
issues; emphasize the relationship of the
issues to the main “problem”
◼ Chronological Order—organize the
literature by the dates the research was
published
◼ Problem-Cause-Solution Order—Organize
the review so that it moves from the
problem to the solution
Organizing Your Literature
Review
◼ General-to-Specific Order—(Also called the
funnel approach) Examine broad-based
research first and then focus on specific
studies that relate to the topic
◼ Known-to-Unknown Order—Examine the
current literature about the problem and
then identify at the end what still is not
known
Literature Review
◼ After reviewing the literature,
summarize what has been done, what
has not been done, and what needs to
be done
◼ Remember you are arguing your point
of why your study is important!
◼ Then pose a formal research question
or state a hypothesis—be sure this is
clearly linked to your literature review
Literature Review
◼ All sources cited in the literature
review should be listed in the
references
◼ To sum, a literature review should
include introduction, summary and
critique of journal articles,
justifications for your research
project and the hypothesis for your
research project
Common Errors Made in Lit
Reviews
◼
◼
◼
◼
◼
Review isn’t logically organized
Review isn’t focused on most
important facets of the study
Review doesn’t relate literature to
the study
Too few references or outdated
references cited
About 10 references are expected
Common Errors Made in Lit
Reviews
◼
◼

◼
Review isn’t written in author’s
own words
Review reads like a series of
disjointed summaries
Review doesn’t argue a point
Recent references are omitted

Writing Your Proposal
◼ Your Final project will include all the
sections in a literature review and—
◼ A methodology section
◼ Proposed statistical analyses (if possible)
◼ Please see your Syllabus for more details
◼ References section (APA style or other style
manual)
