The Literature Review consists of an introduction, summary of scholarly sources, a discussion and evaluation of the sources (including disputes and disagreements), and a conclusion in which you put forth your own potential original research ideas, and also discuss strengths and weaknesses of the literature you reviewed. A minimum of five scholarly articles, published in the last 10 years, from peer-reviewed journals are required for this assignment. All articles MUST be scholarly research articles. You can cite books, excluding your textbook, but these must be in addition to your 5 articles. Don’t cite blogs, websites, opinions, etc. Your five articles should have been published in the last decade; if you want to use an older article, it should be in addition to your five required.
