There are some reasons for writing the literature review papers:

1. Providing a comprehensive insight about the each scope.

2. Causing the quicker discovery of research gaps.

3. Increasing the speed of writing research papers.

and others.

So, it is necessary to have efficient literature review papers for all fields and scopes.

Good Luck.

The importance/necessary/usefulness of a literature review may further be examined by first asking the questions of: “What is a literature review? What are its purposes? Why is the literature so important? How to plan a literature review?” Here, the following scholars provide their answers to these questions, for example: a literature review is a search for the whole truth…., and is therefore a fundamentally scientific activity, which identifies relationships between ideas and practice…..Furthermore, a literature review, which must be relevant, appropriate and useful to the research problem, should be able to help a researcher to identify a conceptual and theoretical framework; as well as the research questions/methodologies used….To this end, a researcher has to define the topic/think about the outcomes/housekeeping….that ultimately the concise, clear, critical, convincing, and contributing outcomes are achievable….., etc.

thanks a lot

These studies help to understand the research problem and to put the research into a historical perspective.

A literature review discusses published information in a particular subject area, and sometimes information in a particular subject area within a certain time period.

A literature review can be just a simple summary of the sources, but it usually has an organizational pattern and combines both summary and synthesis. A summary is a recap of the important information of the source, but a synthesis is a re-organization, or a reshuffling, of that information. It might give a new interpretation of old material or combine new with old interpretations. Or it might trace the intellectual progression of the field, including major debates. And depending on the situation, the literature review may evaluate the sources and advise the reader on the most pertinent or relevant.

Literature reviews provide you with a handy guide to a particular topic. If you have limited time to conduct research, literature reviews can give you an overview or act as a stepping stone. For professionals, they are useful reports that keep them up to date with what is current in the field. For scholars, the depth and breadth of the literature review emphasizes the credibility of the writer in his or her field. Literature reviews also provide a solid background for a research paper’s investigation. Comprehensive knowledge of the literature of the field is essential to most research papers.

Generally speaking, the literature review is a very essential part of research methodology because it encompasses all critical discussions and a summary of previous literature that cover the particular area and topic of interest.Consequently, researchers should spend a lot of time on the literature review. There are several reasons behind such a claim. First, literature review describes how the proposed research is related to prior research in scope and style. Second, it shows the originality and relevance of the targeted research problem to previous studies conducted on the same issue. Third, it justifies the appropriacy of the proposed methodology. Finally, it depicts the wealth of background information required for completing the present research task.

From the literature review you can make your clear path and direction of your reserach work
