Literature Review Assignment:

Topic: Journal Articles Review - the research question and specific journal articles. Choose at least three similar articles and write a literature review. Students will be given specific directions relating to readings about a research topic. Students will need to compare and contrast what various authors say, and propose additional research on the same topic.

Task instructions - A brief discussion of the terminology used in these instructions.

Not all journal articles clearly state a "Research question" , not all journal articles have a section called "Literature review", However the vast majority journal articles have both of these things.

Someone writing a journal article should be able to summarize the objective article in a short paragraph, and someone reading it should quickly be able to work out the objective, some journal articles do this by clearly stating the research question

A journal article will discuss previous studies a summarize what has been done and then identify a research gap, It will discuss some research that has not been done or it will discuss how to implement some research that has not been implemented., some journal articles do this by having a section called "Literature review"

If an article has new research the literature review makes it clear how the new research builds on existing research.

Some journal articles only do the literature review. In this case you could say the research question is "summarize the existing literature and find the gap in the literature"
