What is a Literature Review?

A literature review is a written summary and analysis of existing original research on a particular topic.  

Is your article original research?

Your article is likely original research if it includes

• Abstract or Methods section states the specific population being studied
• Methods section describes how the researchers collected data
• Authors presenting on a study that they conducted themselves
• Title or Abstract states a type of original research study
  • Examples: Randomized Controlled Trial, Clinical Study, Clinical Trial, Cross-Sectional Study

Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are NOT original research.
