to format your literature review. Apply the information from the reading and video lecture to guide your format.

FYI: a research proposal literary review usually offers close to everything that has ever been written about the topic. (I had 310 sources for my dissertation).
The text should consist of three basic components. These components are an intro, main body, and a conclusion.
✏️A good intro has to meet the following criteria:
- Make a clear and understandable definition of the assignment’s PICO(TT) question and make a logical transition to the review.
- Reflect the author’s rationale for the review.
- Clarify how data is organized.

✏️This section has to include the following:
- The list of sources as APA references organized in accordance with their topics or in chronological order.
- An explanation of every category or subcategory of sources’ relevance as well as how they are connected with the main topic of the assignment.

✏️The closing part has to:
- Make a summary of all significant points drawn from the literature.
- Make a critical evaluation of the referenced sources.
- Highlight information gaps or any errors that you were able to find in the existing knowledge.
