THEMES IN THE LITERATURE

When conducting a literature review on a given topic, researchers look for places where the articles overlap and converge. Perhaps several studies focus on the same segment of the population or garnered similar results on a practice approach. These areas of overlap then become the themes you will address in your literature review. These themes can even provide the topical structure for the review itself, becoming headings to organize your written analysis. The first step after you have gathered your articles, then, is to re-read the articles and jot down main themes and subthemes you see emerging. What do you notice?

For this Assignment, you begin to craft your literature review by developing an initial outline, based on themes you have drawn from the studies.
