The purpose here is to do a brief analysis to review what should be eliminated or added, to improve the process that leads to literature research, for example, here in this step we must look at the ages, number of people, profession, place of living, among other data, which may be useful but not at the same time.

In this last step, we must prepare to make changes to use key and clear terms, to obtain a good review, So when you start using online search indexes such as educational resources, the information center will give the option to enter key terms to perform the search, the index will show articles and documents that use those terms in their descriptions

This research purpose refers to when we seek to better understand our research problem about which we probably already have a study and a question of interest posed, in this way; By carrying out the literature review we can identify what aspects have been explored, what methodologies have been used and what conclusions have been reached, which helps us better define our research approach and contribute new perspectives to the field, allowing us to modify different details in our research study and even make adjustments to our research question.

This research purpose refers to the fact that as researchers we often need to face some challenges on the fly, and in question different ideas for "solutions" come to us, but thanks to the review of the literature we can know in a more effective way what works. and no, because other researchers have probably already carried out different studies on the matter, and we can see what results have been obtained and under what methods, thus allowing us to adopt and adapt the most convenient one to meet our objective.

This purpose explains to us that sometimes when we delve deeper into our research problem, we do not find the information we are looking for about this specific topic, but there we could then identify a new field of research, since there is very little information regarding the topic or there isn't.

This purpose of the literature review consists of the study of different research sources in order to provide support or justification for our research, that is; When we present our research project, we can make known to the appropriate parties all those sources that have been previously investigated in relation to our field of study and in this way we can clearly justify our thesis, resources, methods, methodologies and even results. obtained in our investigative work.

This research purpose explains to us how we could also make use of the literature review to analyze the way in which other researchers have worked in our field of study, and from there deduce which methods and methodologies could be more convenient to carry out our own process research.

To carry out an online literature search we can find many resources and databases such as Google, but when we want something more specific we can go to the Resource Information Center to investigate a database held by the United States Department of Education. The United States has supported it for many years and is perhaps the largest in the educational field
