There are two main types of literature reviews: traditional and systematic. Traditional literature reviews are more narrative in nature, and they typically focus on a small number of studies that are relevant to the researcher's topic. Systematic literature reviews, on the other hand, are more rigorous and comprehensive. They involve a systematic search of the literature, and they include a detailed analysis of the findings of the studies that are included in the review.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the traditional and systematic techniques used in literature reviews. It includes step-by-step instructions, examples, and tips to help researchers conduct effective literature reviews. The book is divided into two parts:
