Identify a Conceptual or Theoretical Framework

Introduction

Preparing a comprehensive outline of a literature review is an academic survey of a specific field's body of work. There are many parts to a literature review. A literature review of a dissertation paper serves as the skeleton or the blueprint of the paper. An literature review outline helps to organize thoughts and arguments whiles make conducting research and then writing the paper efficient. A good literature review outline clearly states the thoughts and ideas to include in each section of the dissertation. A well structured outline leads to coherent dissertation whiles eradicating repetition and confusion. Hence, a literature review cannot be written without a plan since it lists the various sections.
