Summary:

This How-to Guide demonstrates how a literature review can inform qualitative research design by drawing on a recent research project conducted on the experiences of older people living in residential care, Thriving in residential care. The first half of this guide takes readers through some of the most commonly employed types of literature review, followed by a real-life case study of conducting a scoping literature review and an explanation of why this is an essential step in the research process. The second half of the guide describes how a literature review can help shape research methodology, inform the theoretical framework, and contribute to the final outcomes of the project. Readers will learn how a literature review can enable a researcher to identify what is already known about the topic and identify gaps in knowledge and how a literature review can inform the methodologic choices in a research design. Readers will learn that a literature review can reveal theoretical and thematic areas that exist in the research field, and thus, it can help to avoid duplication of research as well as evidence and justify a need for a new research topic.
