Literature review is also called literature review and literature analysis. It is an academic paper that collects a large amount of relevant information about the topics, problems or research topics in a certain field, a certain specialty or a certain aspect, and then comprehensively introduces and expounds them through reading, analyzing, summarizing and sorting out the latest progress, academic viewpoints or suggestions of the current topics, problems or research topics.

Basic explanation

Literature review is a comprehensive analysis, induction and comment on the current research situation (including main academic viewpoints, previous research achievements and research level, debate focus, existing problems and possible reasons, etc.). ), new levels, new trends, new technologies, new discoveries, development prospects, etc. Based on extensive reading and understanding of the literature in the research field involved in the topic selection, I put forward my own opinions and research ideas. It requires the author not only to comprehensively sort out and state the main points of the materials he has consulted, but also to make a more professional, comprehensive, in-depth and systematic discussion and corresponding evaluation of the comprehensively sorted documents according to his own understanding and understanding, rather than just "piling up" academic research in related fields.

Literature review is a style different from research papers, which is composed of understanding, sorting, comprehensive analysis and evaluation after researchers read the literature on a certain topic in advance.

Searching and reading literature is an important prerequisite for writing a review. The quality of the review depends largely on the author's mastery of the latest literature related to this topic. If you don't do a good job in literature retrieval and reading, you will never write a high-level summary.
