Introduction and Literature Review

Introduction

  The introduction should provide context by summarizing what is already known, state the purpose of the paper and what it seeks to examine or analyze, and identify gaps or deficiencies in current knowledge. As well, outline the article’s focus to guide the reader through the study.

Literature Review
  Highlight major findings, noting consensus and controversies within the field. 

The literature review should be organized by thematic areas rather than author-by-author, summarizing key findings within each approach, noting contradictions or gaps, evaluating the strengths and limitations of prior research on the subject, and explain how the current study builds upon or extends existing work.

When citing prior studies, use formal in-text citations. For scientific research, use an APA (American Psychological Association, 7th edition) citation style.
