Which of the following statements is incorrect about literature review?

Question

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A — ConceptA literature review is the systematic survey of the scholarship that already exists on a chosen research problem. In the standard account of the research process it is one of the defined stages in its own right: it follows the identification and formulation of the problem and precedes the design of the study, so an investigation cannot be planned responsibly without it. Methodology texts attribute three services to the review. It acquaints the researcher with the available body of knowledge in the field, it supplies the theoretical background or framework within which the study is set, and it exposes the research gap that justifies the new work. The same texts openly describe the exercise as laborious and time consuming, yet rewarding for exactly those returns. Applying the concept to this questionThe stem asks for the statement that is NOT true of a literature review, so each statement is tested against the concept above. Statement Standing in research methodology Literature review is not an integral part of research process. Contradicts the concept. The review is a defined stage of the research process, not an optional extra, so this is the incorrect statement and therefore the answer. Literature review is time consuming and frustrating but it is also rewarding. A standard description of the effort involved: searching, reading and organising prior work is slow and often frustrating, and methodology texts still call it worthwhile. It helps to acquaint yourself with the available body of knowledge in your area of interest. The informational service of the review, which maps what is already known in the field. It provides theoretical background to the study. The conceptual service of the review, which supplies the theoretical framework of the study. Cross-checkRead the four statements as a set. Three of them describe how a literature review feels to carry out and what it does for a study, and they are mutually consistent with the standard account. Only the claim that a literature review is not an integral part of the research process denies the review any place in that process at all, which contradicts the very stage-list the other three take for granted.
