Choose a topic
APA Style, have at least 5 APA approved sources, literature review should be a SUMMARY and SYNTHESIS of published research in a subject area.

Describe the goals and unique contribution of the present study, and how they flow from or seek to refine or question previous work.
What is the problem being investigated?
Are there studies that examine the same topic you are investigating? What did they find?
What is the unique contribution that your study would be adding to the research area in which you are interested?
How will your study be different compared to the others conducted on the same topic?
Identify limitations of studies that cast doubt on the findings
Are there findings that go against what you are proposing? What are some potential problems with those studies? Could those limitations be a reason for those contradictory findings?
Point out inconsistent findings between studies
Can you think of any reasons for these inconsistencies?
What can be done to perhaps lessen these inconsistencies?
Describe in detail the predictions that your perspective makes about the results of the current studies and discuss relevant theories .
List the formal hypotheses that you have about the expected outcomes
