Review of related literature is the annotation of available papers both published and unpublished that contain information or evidence related to the topic that a person proposes to research on. It is the use of ideas in the literature to defend your paper such as the methods used in the study. Actually, it is the important component of a research because it helps to identify the research problem and provides information that the research is already exist but need to have further studies.

REFLECTION:

This CLO entailed the significance of Review of Related Literatures when conducting a research study and some of the writing guides for Chapter 1 and 2. Integrating RRLs to identify and understand the research problem helps the researcher understand clearly that the research to be undertaken would contribute something new and innovative. Thus, I learned that the quality of RRLs can be determined by evaluating if it includes appropriate breadth and depth of the area under study, clarity, rigor, consistency, and effective analysis. Also, I realized that research problems can be easily solved if researchers will systematically explore possible strategies to solve the problem or a simpler version of it while looking for patterns found in RRLs.
