Some Aims of a Literature Review?
Know what other work is out there related to your research.
- Research should be original or build from the work of others.
- What have others found?
- Setup the framework for your research project.
- If you are going to discuss asthma in Hispanic vs non-Hispanic children, the reader should know more about asthma first in general, and then specific to your project.
- Build from the work of others
- Maybe another author found that asthma prevalence occurs when receive less medical care or other factors.
- Investigate
- Again, it's important to know the fundamentals of the field. No one will take you seriously if your research doesn't add to the field of knowledge.
- Learn
- Etc.
