What is an assessment literature?
The format of an assessment of literature are different from discipline to discipline and from assignment to assignment.



A review might be a self-contained unit -- a stop in itself -- or maybe a preface to and rationale for starting primary research. A review can be a required component of grant and research proposals and frequently a chapter in theses and dissertations.

Generally, the purpose of your review is always to analyze critically a segment of an published body of information through summary, classification, and comparison of prior studies, reviews of literature, and theoretical articles.

Point out overall trends using what has been published about the subject; or conflicts theoretically, methodology, evidence, and conclusions; or gaps in research and scholarship; or possibly a single problem or new perspective of immediate interest.
Establish the writer's reason (viewpoint) for reviewing the literature; explain the standards to be used in analyzing and comparing literature as well as the organization from the review (sequence); and, at the appropriate time, state why certain literature is or possibly not included (scope).
