Literature Review: Its Purpose and Importance
Literature review plays a pivotal role in any academic research project. It involves a comprehensive analysis of existing published works, research papers, books, articles, and other relevant sources on a specific topic or research question. This crucial step provides researchers with essential background knowledge, helps them identify gaps in existing literature, and ensures that their work is built upon a strong foundation of established knowledge. However, conducting a thorough literature review can be a daunting, time-consuming task. That’s why R Discovery steps in to simplify literature reviews.

Defining your research question often requires an exploratory literature search to grasp the scope of existing knowledge in your field. R Discovery’s user-friendly search feature allows you to seamlessly explore relevant terms and concepts, helping you fine-tune your focus.
