A review of literature can help to justify your study if you use it to establish the importance of your topic and to show how your research flows from that of others.

According to the topic, there are three other ways a review of literature can help you in addition to helping you identify a testable hypothesis. (1) Identify measuring tools, (2) you may be able to avoid dead ends; one of your ideas for research may have already been thoroughly investigated and proven not useful, and (3) you can learn how to write research reports by paying careful attention to the style and organization used by authors of published research. ]]> 2023-07-31 06:52:12 UTC https://padlet.com/virginiagarcia430/yh28lcr54qjk7ezb/wish/2653413595 virginiagarcia430 https://padlet.com/virginiagarcia430/yh28lcr54qjk7ezb/wish/2653416455 The methods section describes your reason for the research.
