   Citations

   In a literature review the writer is contributing very little. They are simply reporting on the literature that already exists. That means that the majority of the paper is comprised of information that is not their own and must be cited. In this section of the paper almost every sentence is cited. The only exceptions are

   · Introductory sentences – preview of more detailed information to come and then followed by cited evidence

   · Summary sentences – a recap of previously introduced information

   This paper requires a minimum of 12 reliable sources.

   Fluidity and Logical Sequencing

   The presentation of the information must be logical in the paper as a whole and within in each paragraph. The most general information is written first in the form of introductory sentences and then followed by more detailed and related evidence. Transitions between paragraphs and within paragraphs must also have fluidity. Using choppy sentence structure and not employing transition sentences makes the paper unpleasant to read and comprehension difficult.
