A Literature Review is an objective, concise, critical summary of published research literature relevant to a topic being researched in an article.
The two most common types of literature reviews found in journals are those introducing research articles (studies and surveys) and stand-alone literature analyses. They differ in their scope, length, and specific purpose.
