# Literature Review Writing

A skill for structuring, synthesizing, and writing literature reviews. Covers narrative reviews, systematic reviews, scoping reviews, and literature review sections within empirical papers. Provides frameworks for organizing sources, identifying themes, and writing with synthesis rather than summary.

## Types of Literature Reviews

### Choosing the Right Review Type

| Type | Purpose | Search | Analysis | Length |
|------|---------|--------|----------|--------|
| Narrative | Broad overview of a topic | Selective | Qualitative synthesis | 5-30 pages |
| Systematic | Answer a specific question exhaustively | Exhaustive, documented | May include meta-analysis | 10-40 pages |
| Scoping | Map the extent of research on a topic | Broad, systematic | Charting and categorizing | 10-20 pages |
| Integrative | Synthesize diverse methodologies | Targeted | Conceptual synthesis | 10-25 pages |
