Guide
Introduction: In this section, you should orient the readers so that they know what topic will be addressed and why it is important for them to know about. You should define the topic and inform the reader about the approach you are taking. What aspects will be covered, and what aspects will not be covered? Indicate what scholarly or professional conversation you are trying to enter.
Body: Include at least three sections here describing different trends, themes, or approaches relevant to your topic. In each section, do not simply summarize research—build a focused discussion of that topic. Rather than moving through each source one at a time, develop comparisons, contrasts, or similarities between articles or studies.
Conclusion: Summarize the major points of the research, and add a final perspective or conclusion. Here, you should refer back to the question or objective set out in the introduction and to the relationships or patterns you developed in the body section. What is the significance of the research you have reviewed? What problems still need to be solved? What research is still needed?
References: Prepare a list of the sources you have cited in your article. Use the citation format used within the discourse community you have chosen, or, if there is no single accepted format, follow the format from a peer-reviewed journal within that discourse community.
