Reviewing literature
How to include the literature reviews in your final assignment
Where your literature goes and how it looks depends on the work you are doing:
• Separate section following introduction (academic essay, industry report).
• Part of introduction/narrative/overview/background (journalism, media campaign, app pitch).
• Producing a literature review as your research project (academic essay).
• May include sub-headings in a longer work (e.g. a doctoral thesis or book).
