Details:
The literature review of a dissertation is more than a "book report" that summarizes a set of research articles. The literature review is a synthesis of ideas. This synthesis illuminates a gap in the research literature that can be filled by additional research such as a doctoral dissertation. In this assignment, you will synthesize the articles you summarized in the Topic assignment, and you will describe how the synthesis of the articles informs a gap in the research that your dissertation study will fill.
