Introduction
A literature review describes what has been learned about a topic through previous
research efforts. The literature review is essentially a report onwork previously done in a
field, to show an understanding of the context for your ownwriting. A literature review is
not a summary of individual sources in a list, as is an annotated bibliography. Rather, the
literature review paraphrases the findings from the scholarly readings you selected. You
will identify key themes from the various sources and use in-text citations to support your
discussion of the information you learned from the scholarly readings.
Writing a literature review involves searching Capella University Library databases for
scholarly articles on your chosen area of focus. Sources of informationmay be reports,
professional associations, and the works of seminal theorists such as scholars and experts
in the field. Your selected references should have been publishedwithin the past seven
years.While certain seminal works you referencemay be older than seven years, most of
your sources must be recently published per the guidelines.
Instructions
The literature review should integrate in-text citations within the paragraphs to support
analysis of the scholarly readings on a selected topic. A literature review is not a summary
of individual sources in a list, as youwould find in an annotated bibliography. Your
literature review should:
● Incorporate at least five scholarly sources. Up to two of these can be seminal
works and the remainingmust be peer-reviewed articles no older than seven
years.
● Address at least two theorists pertinent to your interest in the field.
● Use the Sample Course Paper Template [DOCX] as a guide for formatting and
organizing your paper.
