literature view怎么写呢？英国教授来教您。一篇评论文章是作者对某一专题的一些作品进行评价和分析的作品。它不同于你写过的大多数文章，因为它没有提出特定的论点或回答特定的问题。评论文章往往是更大作品的一部分。例如，你需要为你最后一年的论文写一篇文献复习章。这学期你写的评论论文的范围要比你准备论文的文献评论窄得多。尽管如此，它仍然应该被看作是一个更大的工作的一部分，因为它应该为你的主文准备这个模块的方式。

　　A review essay is a work in which the author assesses and analyzes a number of works on a particular topic. It is different from most of the essays that you may have written in that it does not make a particular argument or answer a particular question. A review essay is often part of a larger work. You will, for instance, need to write a literature review chapter for your final-year dissertation. The review essay that you write this semester will be much narrower in scope than the literature review that you prepare for your dissertation. Nevertheless, it should still be seen as part of a larger work in that it should prepare the way for your main essay for this module.

　　你的评论文章应该是你的主要论文的研究过程开始的结果。你应该马上开始为主要论文撰写书目。然后，该模块的复习论文应以4-5篇高质量的学术期刊文章为基础。评论应该对这些文章进行批判性分析。它不应该是一个“书报”，也就是说，它不应该简单地概括文章所说的内容。相反，你应该在每一篇文章中寻找与你的文章问题最相关的要点。然后比较每个作者在这些点上所说的。你应该在与文章最相关的问题上培养作者之间的争论和/或一致性。一篇评论文章(或一篇好的文献综述)的目的是展示你对你正在处理的主题的知识。

　　Your review essay should be the result of the beginning of your research process for your main essay. You should begin building the bibliography for the main essay right away. Then the review essay for this module should be based on 4-5 high quality academic journal articles from that bibliography. The review should analyze these articles critically. It should not be a ‘book report’, i.e. it should not simply summarize what the articles say. You should, rather, search each article for points that are most relevant to your essay question. Then compare what each of the authors says on these points. You should develop a sense of debate and/or agreement amongst the authors on the issues most relevant to your essay. The goal of a review essay (or a good literature review) is to demonstrate your knowledge of the topic with which you are dealing.

　　Like any piece of written work a review essay should have an introduction, a body and a conclusion. As with any piece of written work you may find it helpful to write the introduction last. The purpose of the introduction is to introduce the piece of work. This is easier to do once the piece actually exists.

　　The body of the work will be where you discuss the articles you are reviewing. This can be done chronologically or thematically. For your purposes you will usually find a thematic structure most effective. That is, to talk about the issues and ideas that all of the articles have in common, one theme or idea at a time. This makes it easier to highlight debates or consensus within the literature. Alternatively you might choose a chronological structure, but only if you can show the development of knowledge in the area of your study over time. In a chronological structure you must show how the ideas in one article lead to another.

　　After composing the body of your work, write a brief conclusion explaining the main value of the literature you’ve read in relation to the essay you will write. After that, write an introduction that explains what the purpose of the review is, what it accomplishes, and (briefly) introduces the articles you will review.

　　Points to keep in mind:

　　· It is true that you are the one criticizing and assessing the articles, however, you should avoid phrases like, ‘in my opinion’. Many people are not giving themselves enough credit when they say ‘in my opinion’. Often they are not really talking about a ‘gut’ feeling at all but rather a considered assessment based on what has been read. If what you have read leads you to a particular assessment of something, then explain the steps that led to that assessment. Don’t just call it an ‘opinion’. Refer to the other works that have led to your assessment. You may, therefore, need to use additional sources other than the main 4 or 5 that you are reviewing in the essay.

　　· Keep your use of direct quotations to a minimum. Only use a direct quotation if the author says something unique, in a unique way. Otherwise, paraphrase the ideas in your own voice. (But still credit the author in a citation.)

　　· As with all written work, all information that is not your original analysis (whether it be direct quotation or paraphrase) must be credited with correct citation and references.

　　Your review essay will be assessed on the following criteria. Please keep these in mind as you prepare your work.

Coherence & quality of article selection: That is, the degree to which the articles chosen for review are relevant choices for your topic and are high quality academic journal articles.

Clarity and structure of explanations: That is, the degree to which you appear to have understood and explained the key points of your articles.

Presentation: spelling, punctuation and grammar. That is, the degree to which your paper is free from basic, avoidable errors in presentation. This includes the correct presentation of your bibliography.

Integration of articles: That is, the degree to which you have demonstrated your understanding of the interrelationship of the literature reviewed. Assessors will look for explanation of where your chosen authors support one another’s ideas and where there are disagreements and debates.

Critical analysis and discussion: That is, the degree to which your review offers analysis that demonstrates your understanding of the connections between OB concepts, your chosen question, and your selected literature. The assessor will be looking at the degree to which the information in your literature review seems to promise a coherent answer to the essay question.
