Why is it important to conduct or perform a quality literature review?
It is important to conduct a literature review because a literature review supplies the premise of proficiency on topics (Schmidt & Brown, 2018). It halts replication of data and recognizes researchers that have provided the content (Schmidt & Brown, 2018). A literature review also recognizes missing information or scarce data in research, and it identifies conflicts in prior studies along with unanswered questions from other research (Schmidt & Brown, 2018).
Characterize or distinguish between the 4 major types of reviews discussed in our textbook?
1.Narrative reviews are one of the most commonly used reviews, they tend to be particularly subjective, they are often found in scholarly and approved sources, and they usually are not concerned with broad research techniques, configurations, or settings (Schmidt & Brown, 2018). 2. Integrative reviews are scholarly writings that incorporate published research and articles that respond to questions of engrossment (Schmidt & Brown, 2018). They are peer-reviewed, thus being objective, they can incorporate theoretical and empirical literature, and can synthesize information from various types of research (Schmidt & Brown, 2018). 3. Meta-analysis is a type of systematic review, it extracts findings from various studies on corresponding topics and examines them in a statistical approach, this statistical approach is used when information is indistinguishable, and a comparison is needed (Schmidt & Brown, 2018). This analysis also contains published and unpublished work, and it is a useful origin of evidence when substantial mixed trials are not attainable (Schmidt & Brown, 2018). 4. Systematic Reviews are considered to be the “highest level and most objective” type of review (Schmidt & Brown, 2018). This review requires a precise and accurate process for investigating the evidence (Schmidt & Brown, 2018). A systematic review is a comprehensive examination of research that has already been performed, it merges components of all the 3 mentioned types of reviews, narrative, integrative, and meta-analysis (Schmidt & Brown, 2018). It encompasses studies that focus on identical clinical problems and uses techniques to reduce bias in order to construct reliable evidence that can generate informative decision-making (Schmidt & Brown, 2018).
What are the essential components of a quality literature review?
When conducting a literature review the researcher must look for specifications in the article’s publication, a synopsis of the main points, provided information of gaps in research, and an assessment of the publication’s input to the topic (Schmidt & Brown, 2018). The information should be obtained via a primary source, meaning the original information was provided by the person who created the information, or via a secondary source, which examines content provided by a primary source that can allow an opportunity for new perceptions on a topic (Schmidt & Brown, 2018).

When performing research in any field publication or data and finding are made but prior to publishing information reviews are conducted by other scholars or professional in the same field, this is done to ensure the information is correct, impartial, and ensure no falsification. Quality literature review ultimately is conducted to ensure the readers are provided with accurate information.
Reviews that are discussed are Integrative reviews, Narrative reviews, Meta-Analyses, and Systemic reviews. Integrative reviews are academic papers that use published research to answer questions about a particular subject; commonly found in peer-reviewed professional journals and do not include works that use the same research methods (Schmidt & Brown, 2018). The most common form of review is the narrative review, which is subjective meaning the literature may or may not be biased. Meta-Analyses include the findings of existing as well as ongoing research and use that data to statistically approximate the results of the suggested intervention (Schmidt & Brown, 2018). Systematic evaluations reduce bias by the form of thorough research. These are forms of seocndary research as the are reviewed by individuals who did not conduct the initial research.
Each of these literature reviews contain the same components such as answering what subject or area is being investigated, and what are the issues that make up the problem? Finding materials related to the topic being researched, data assessment entails assessing which literature contributes significantly to the topic’s understanding and discussion of the observations and conclusions of relevant literature review and interpretation (Schmidt & Brown, 2018).
