We are reviewed six types of literature review and the goals of a literature review. However, integrative review is emphasized. There are two functions of integrative review:
- The author presents and summarizes the current state of knowledge on a topic.
- Highlighting agreement and disagreement within it.
A concrete example is presented in class. There are three parts in integrate review of example:
- Purpose and scope of the review: introduction, scope, definition.
- Thematic structure: in this part, the topic is divided into subtopics. Each of subtopic is clearly analyzed. The mini-summary of them is presented in this part. From this, we highlight agreements and disagreements and compare our study to other literatures.
- Conclusion: presenting overall summary and future research directions.
