4. What is a Literature Review A literature review is a list of books and journal articles on a specific topic grouped by theme and evaluated with regard to your research

5. Main idea : A topic sentence which tells the reader the theme that arose in the literature. Evidence : Paraphrased and cited information from a source in the literature which tells the reader important information related to the theme.  Analysis:  The writer’s interpretation and analysis of the paraphrased information which can be used to explain the evidence and link ideas. Repeat evidence and analysis as needed:  In a literature review, there will almost always be several pieces of evidence paraphrased from different sources with analysis threaded throughout as needed. Lead out : A conclusion sentence which synthesizes what all of this literature has to say about this theme and concludes the paragraph. [Main idea] : Apartments are better than single family homes for young couples because of the community that is available.  [Evidence from source 1] : As Basye (2015) explained, young couples living on their own benefit from relationships with multi-generational neighbors and friends.  [Evidence from source 2] : In addition, as Bono and Matluba (2016) argued, young couples often do not yet have secure social networks, so living in an apartment as compared to a home offers the opportunity to meet people nearby and create social networks close to home.  [Analysis] : Thus, apartment living can be beneficial for relationship building.  [Evidence from source 3] : Furthermore, having neighbors offers a safety network because when individuals form communities and social bonds, they are more likely to look out for one another ( Hendron , 2017).   [Lead out] : Overall, the literature showed that apartments are beneficial for young couples because of the relationships they can form, the networks they can create, and increased safety.
