Literature Reviews

A strong literature review does more than summarise—it interprets, connects, and positions your work within the broader research landscape. This webinar explores how to craft literature reviews that are purposeful, critical, and strategic, transforming them from a simple background section into a powerful framework for your own research.

Participants will learn how to define the scope and focus of their review, structure arguments logically, and identify genuine research gaps. We’ll discuss approaches to synthesising complex sources, avoiding common pitfalls, and integrating theory and evidence to build credibility. The session also considers the differing expectations of literature reviews in proposals, theses, and journal articles, helping researchers adapt their writing across contexts.

This session will help you move from descriptive writing to analytical insight—developing literature reviews that both demonstrate expertise and establish a compelling case for your research.
