Lit Review Process

This is the literature review writing process that I recommend. Not every professor everywhere will use the same recommended process; this is, however, what I recommend to my students. I've found that if you don't walk away from your literature review and you use it as the basis for your writing, you are more likely to come out with a running list of article summaries rather than a coherent argument that you have written using the sources to back up and for context.
