Create a narrative review of the literature on your research topic.

The Literature Review must follow the basic structure of the Dissertation Handbook template (quantitative or qualitative) for Chapter 2 and be at least 10 pages, excluding the title and reference pages.

Your Literature Review must include relevant citations from your Review Forms and Literature Review: Outline, follow current APA format, and consist of at least 15 empirical, scholarly sources that have been published within the last five years.

Use your approved or improved Literature Review: Outline as a foundation for the Literature Review.

Specific Guidelines

The Literature Review is not merely a series of summaries of individual studies; rather, it is a coherent and cohesive synthesis of all your sources. Paragraphs citing only one source are a prime example of summary instead of synthesis.

The Literature Review will include the following required current APA formatted level-1 headings: Overview, Theoretical Framework, Related Literature, and Summary. The body of the paper must be at least 10 pages.

Begin the paper with a title page. Provide a brief narrative overview of the major content of the literature and a brief narrative summary at the end of the body of the paper. End the paper with a reference page of all sources identified in the Literature Review.

The final product must comply with current APA format requirements and must be submitted in a Microsoft Word document. The entire paper must be at least 3,500 words, not including the title and reference pages.
