Analysis should lead to insight. This is how you will contribute to the field.
- Analysis requires that you have an approach or a point of view to evaluate the material you found.
- Are there gaps in the literature?
- Where has significant research taken place, and who has done it?
- Is there consensus or debate on this topic?
- Which methodological approaches work best?
Analysis is the part of the literature review process where you justify why your research is needed, how others have not addressed it, and/or how your research advances the field.
