What is literature review writing help?

Literature review writing help from TaskDoners is a model literature review written by a specialist in your field.

02Questions answered

Literature Review, explained

What should a literature review include?

A good literature review has an introduction that sets out its scope, a main body organised by themes or debates rather than by author, critical comparison of the studies, and a conclusion that identifies the gap your research will address. Every source should be relevant, credible and correctly referenced.

Our free guide on how to write a literature review walks through the process step by step.

How many sources should a literature review have?

There is no fixed number. It depends on your level, word count and field. An undergraduate review might discuss a few dozen sources, while a PhD review can cover far more. Quality and relevance matter more than quantity, and your supervisor or handbook is the best guide.

Who can help me with a literature review?

Your supervisor and your university library's academic skills team should be your first stop, especially for search strategies and databases. If you want a worked example, TaskDoners provides model literature reviews from subject specialists, arranged on WhatsApp, which show how sources are grouped and critically compared.

If you are not ready for a full review, an annotated bibliography summarises and evaluates key sources first, and secondary research help gathers the evidence base.

Can a literature review be a chapter of my dissertation?

Yes. In most dissertations the literature review is the second chapter, between the introduction and the methodology, and it should lead naturally to your research questions. We can write it as a standalone review or as a chapter that fits the rest of your dissertation.

For other chapters, see dissertation chapter help, and if you are still shaping your question, research proposal help.

An annotated bibliography lists sources one by one, each with a short summary and evaluation. A literature review weaves the same sources into a single argument, grouping them by theme and comparing their findings. Many students write a bibliography first and build the review from it.

It depends on the word count, the number of sources and whether a systematic search is needed. Reviews involve a lot of reading, so a standard deadline gives the best depth, although shorter reviews can be turned round faster. Share your topic and deadline on WhatsApp for a realistic timescale.

Yes. If your tutor or handbook sets the sections, headings or type of review, such as narrative, scoping or systematic, send the guidance and your writer will follow it. Where nothing is specified, the review is organised by themes that lead towards your research question.
