The Literature Review

What Is a Literature Review? According to the seventh edition of the APA Publication Manual, a literature review is "a critical evaluation of material that has already been published." As one embarks on creating a literature review, it is important to note that the grouping of components within a literature review can be arranged according to the author's discretion. However, it is important for the author to ensure the review reflects current APA publication standards.
