Generally, a literature review will follow certain steps:
•Decide on a Topic
•Narrow the Topic (e.g., PICOT)
•Search for Literature
•Appraise the Literature
•Data Extraction with Table
•Create a Thematic Table
•Synthesize the Literature According to Main Themes or Topics
•Organize and Plan the Written Review
•Write the Literature Review
•Check the Literature Review
**These steps are iterative. This means they do not always follow this exact order and the author of a literature review may return to the same step two, three, or more times while working on their review as new information and new insight is found while reviewing the literature.
