A literature review normally requires synthesis rather than a sequence of isolated summaries. Compare findings, identify agreements and disagreements, examine methods, and explain how the existing body of work relates to the research problem.

Evidence

Identify what previous studies report and how strong their evidence is.

Debates

Compare competing explanations, results, assumptions, or methodologies.

Gaps

Explain what remains uncertain or insufficiently investigated.
