Your literature review isn't just a summary , it's where your contribution gets defined.
After years of supervising dissertations and reviewing manuscripts, these are the patterns that separate a review that gets flagged from one that gets accepted:
✅ Find a genuine gap, not just a topic to write about
✅ Be specific about which papers you're building on
✅ Keep your theory, questions, and methods aligned
Which one are you working on right now? Drop a comment.
