This is a very good question which I have thought about many times. As researchers continue to embark on groundbreaking researches, I think there should be room to allow them to bring their own personal reflections to their studies. As everyone knows, not everything has been studied, which makes it pertinent to allow academic freedom of thought. So, while it may not be necessary to include a literature review when we can't find one that intersects with our own, this should be clearly stated from the beginning of the paper.
I think it is very significant to add literature review to an article because it represents a clear aspect of the paper including intex citation. For this, the reviewers of the journal may realize the motto of one"s paper relevant to the aim and scope of their journal.
Yes. I also go with the opinions shared. It's mandatory to include a literature review pertaining to your research so as to show how yours is a groundbreaking one thereby you can substantiate your statement.
I think it's important to include a literature review that clearly shows the relevance of the research while you're doing a research and it allows you to find clear field of study at the same time go your own way.
