Question

Briefly describe the two different meetings of the term literature review?

Answer 1

One of the meanings is found in the research articles where the second chapter is literature review where a researcher reviews works similar to one’s present work. This is considered as secondary data collection where one would look for previous works that would shed new insights and support the present research.

Second meaning comes from the English literature review where a work of literature such as a poem, novel, essay etc. would be critically reviewed by experts and providing a critical analysis about the work. This is in no way connected to any research work.
