Secondary sources are the only source of information in literature review for example books, newspapers, journals, periodicals and other published written materials. Thus literature review should be related to thesis or topic under study, suggest outcome of what is known, identify areas of weakness in research and formulate questions for future research. It should also give a conclusion on facts that previous researchers who have conducted similar studies have derived.
