1. Different Types of Literature Review

2. Literature Review
• It focuses on the relevant information sources of
research that will help to determine about the topic.
• It is a comprehensive summary of previous research on a
topic.
• It gives a theoretical base for the research and can help
the researchers to determine the nature of the research.
• It acknowledge the work of previous researchers and
assures the reader that the research has been well
conceived.

3. The Literature Review or Narrative Review
• Often appears as a chapter in a thesis or
dissertation. It describes what related research
has already been conducted, how it informs the
thesis, and how the thesis fits into the research in
the field.

4. The Critical Review
• Is like a literature review, but requires a more
detailed examination of the literature, in order to
compare and evaluate a number of perspectives.

5. The Scoping Review
 Is often used at the beginning of an article,
dissertation or research proposal. It is conducted
before the research begins, and sets the stage
for this research by highlighting gaps in the
literature, and explaining the need for the
research about to be conducted, which is
presented in the remainder of the article.

6. The Conceptual Review
 Groups articles according to concepts, or
categories, or themes. It identifies the current
'understanding' of the given research topic,
discusses how this understanding was reached,
and attempts to determine whether a greater
understanding can be suggested. It provides a
snapshot of where things are with this particular
field of research.

7. The State-of-the-Art Review
 Is conducted periodically, with a focus on the
most recent research. It describes what is
currently known, understood, or agreed upon
regarding the research topic, and highlights
where are there still disagreements.

8. Argumentative Review
 This form examines literature selectively in order to support
or refute an argument, deeply imbedded assumption, or
philosophical problem already established in the literature.
The purpose is to develop a body of literature that
establishes a contrarian viewpoint. Given the value-laden
nature of some social science research [e.g., educational
reform; immigration control], argumentative approaches to
analyzing the literature can be a legitimate and important
form of discourse. However, note that they can also
introduce problems of bias when they are used to to make
summary claims of the sort found in systematic reviews.

9. Integrative Review
 Considered a form of research that reviews,
critiques, and synthesizes representative
literature on a topic in an integrated way such that
new frameworks and perspectives on the topic
are generated. The body of literature includes all
studies that address related or identical
hypotheses. A well-done integrative review meets
the same standards as primary research in regard
to clarity, rigor, and replication.

10. Historical Review
 Few things rest in isolation from historical precedent.
Historical reviews are focused on examining research
throughout a period of time, often starting with the first
time an issue, concept, theory, phenomena emerged in
the literature, then tracing its evolution within the
scholarship of a discipline. The purpose is to place
research in a historical context to show familiarity with
state-of-the-art developments and to identify the likely
directions for future research.

11. Methodological Review
 A review does not always focus on what someone said
[content], but how they said it [method of analysis]. This
approach provides a framework of understanding at different
levels (i.e. those of theory, substantive fields, research
approaches and data collection and analysis techniques),
enables researchers to draw on a wide variety of knowledge
ranging from the conceptual level to practical documents for use
in fieldwork in the areas of ontological and epistemological
consideration, quantitative and qualitative integration, sampling,
interviewing, data collection and data analysis, and helps
highlight many ethical issues which we should be aware of and
consider as we go through our study.

12. Theoretical literature review
 Focuses on a pool of theory that has accumulated in regard to an
issue, concept, theory, phenomena. Theoretical literature
reviews play an instrumental role in establishing what theories
already exist, the relationships between them, to what degree the
existing theories have been investigated, and to develop new
hypotheses to be tested. At the earlier parts of the literature
review chapter, you need to specify the type of your literature
review and provide reasons for your choice. Your choice of a
specific type of literature review should be based upon your
research area, research problem and research methods. Also,
you can briefly discuss other most popular types of literature
review mentioned above.

13. The Quantitative or Qualitative Meta-analysis Review
 Can both make up the whole or part of systematic
review(s). Both are thorough and comprehensive in
condensing and making sense of a large body of
research. The quantitative meta-analysis reviews
quantitative research, is objective, and includes
statistical analysis. The qualitative meta-analysis reviews
qualitative research, is subjective (or evaluative, or
interpretive), and identifies new themes or concepts.

14. Systematic literature review
 Requires more rigorous and well-defined
approach compared to most other types of
literature review. Systematic literature review is
comprehensive and details the timeframe within
which the literature was selected. Systematic
literature review can be divided into two
categories: meta-analysis and meta-synthesis.

15. Meta-analysis and Meta-Synthesis.
 When you conduct meta-analysis you take findings from
several studies on the same subject and analyze these using
standardized statistical procedures. In meta-analysis patterns
and relationships are detected and conclusions are drawn.
Meta-analysis is associated with deductive research
approach.
• Meta-synthesis, on the other hand, is based on non-statistical
techniques. This technique integrates, evaluates and
interprets findings of multiple qualitative research studies.
Meta-synthesis literature review is conducted usually when
following inductive research approach.
