1. Strip out summary paragraphs from research
2. Reorder summary paragraphs for the literature review
3. Combine paragraphs if necessary
4. Add topic sentences and transitions to form literature review's body paragraphs
5. Add introduction and conclusion paragraphs to complete the literature review
The literature review does not have to be a daunting or mysterious academic assignment. As a matter of fact, the so-called "literature review" is a common task in the professional workplace but is called a "backgrounder" or "background research" instead of a literature review. The video provides a real-world example of writing a practical literature review as an HR employee in an IT company.
Stop being intimidated by what is actually an easy assignment by learning what a literature review really is and how to do one quickly and easily.

@@peakdavid Sir, sincerely, thanks you so much for your great videos. We still need some help, I hope you could do couple of videos about: building up academic writing skills in general from scratch, how to summarize a journal article before starting writing a Literature review, how to take notes during a lecture, how to read faster, how to scan and skim through our readings, how to summarize .. etc. We as international students didn't learn such skills properly in our home countries, and we do suffer once we get such assignments. The way you teach make things extremely simple and easy. I hope you could read my comment. Thank you very much once again, we do really appreciate it thank you sir. :)

[@joshwaymire733]

This was an unbelievable help. I had to write a 10 page literature review in approximately 24 hours because like any good grad student, I procrastinated. What I saw as a daunting task was quickly made easier after watching this video. I broke down 10 different peer reviewed journal articles into their own segments, then combined them. Added an intro and a conclusion and voila I was over 10 pages. I might make it through grad school after all.

While I doubt most of us could do a literature review in half an hour, this video was helpful for organization and general overview of how to. Helpful. thanks

[@peakdavid]

If you have your annotations already done with your annotated bibliography, it should be pretty close! There is also a text version www.peakwriting.com/litreview/Index.html

I almost never comment on YT but David, thank you SO much! I have been binge watching YT videos on this topic and yet was lost. This video finally cleared it all for me. What an excellent explanation. And I loved how calming the way you speak is. Was tired of hearing all the others scream in their videos. Again, thank you. :)

[@peakdavid]

Great to hear! Thanks!

[@blairforrest2929]

You are a lifesaver! I've been trying to wrap my head around writing a literature review for weeks and you just summed it up in 17 minutes. THANK YOU

I really like this guy. I'm in 12th grade and I decided to do a Lit review for my Senior capstone project. His whole talk was so interesting and easy to follow. I was actually worried for a second that I needed to go back and find an earlier video bc this one looks kind of old lol

[@JAMamation]

This is by FAR the best video on how to do a literature review out there. I would say I am more of a visual learner, so your step-by-step process on how to do it is incredibly helpful. I wish my tutor was this helpful. You have probably saved my degree
