literature review: review of previous work relating to research problem (to define, explain, justify) review of previous work relating to methodology (to define, explain, justify) review of previous work relating to results (particularly reliability, etc.) http://www.unc.edu/depts/wcweb/handouts/literature_review.html (literature reviews) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/literature_review http://www.library.ncat.edu/ref/guides/literaturereview03.htm (how to do a literature review) http://library.ucsc.edu/ref/howto/literaturereview.html (how to write a literature review) http://www.wisc.edu/writing/handbook/reviewofliterature.html (how to write a review of literature)

your review is aimed at getting to what you think has not been proven. remember, the whole idea of your research project will be to try to prove something that hasn't been proven before. so, you need to show previous research has led you as far as it can go to what you want to test--it just hasn't been tested yet.

your literature review is saying so-and-so proved this. so-and-so proved that. but no one has showed or proven _____. studies show that (and relate theory to what you believe). then bring in more so-and-so proved this to support the theory. then you tie it all together with what you propose to do. you are making a logical assumption.
