Coursera Takeaway

The Importance and Value of Literature Review

A literature review is not just about gathering and summarizing many sources, it is about engaging in
a dynamic academic conversation. Think of it as pulling up a chair to a roundtable discussion where various
scholars and researchers debate and discuss your topic of interest. Your role is to understand these different
perspectives and contribute your own sights. This means continuously refining and articulating your
research question.

The value of a good literature review lies in its ability to situate your research within the broader
scholarly conversation. It helps identify gaps in existing knowledge, allowing you to position your work as a
meaningful contribution. By understanding and engaging with the key debates and ideas, you can ensure that
your research is relevant and that you are not working in isolation.

Ultimately, a literature review is about framing your research within a broader context and
demonstrating a thorough grasp of the field. This approach not only strengthens your own research but also
advances the overall understanding topic.
