         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. A literature review is a document or section of a document that collects key sources on a topic and discusses those sources in conversation with each other<br>2. A literature review can be a part of a research paper or scholarly article, usually falling after the introduction and before the research methods sections. In these cases, the lit review just needs to cover scholarship that is important to the issue you are writing about; sometimes it will also cover key sources that informed your research methodology. Lit reviews can also be standalone pieces, either as assignments in a class or as publications. In a class, a lit review may be assigned to help students familiarize themselves with a topic and with scholarship in their field, get an idea of the other researchers working on the topic they’re interested in, find gaps in existing research in order to propose new projects, and/or develop a theoretical framework and methodology for later research. As a publication, a lit review usually is meant to help make other scholars’ lives easier by collecting and summarizing, synthesizing, and analyzing existing research on a topic.<br>3. <br>- <strong>Trusted sources: <br></strong>Academic sources,<br>peer reviewed sources,<br>government sources, <br>trusted new sources<br>- <strong>Sources we cant trust:<br></strong>blogs, <br>social media <br>wikipedia<br>- <strong>why? </strong>because the suitable ones are provided by field experts compared to the other examples.<br><br></div><div><br></div>]]></description>
