Essay写作中Literature Review的实用攻略

　　Literature Review也就是文献综述，可以是单独的一篇学术论文，也可以是留学生论文中的一部分。本文主要将留学生毕业论文中Literature Review的写作。Literature Review是完成选题以后，在对选题所涉及的研究领域的文献进行广泛阅读和理解的基础上，对该研究领域的研究现状(包括主要学术观点、前人研究成果和研究水平、争论焦点、存在问题及可能的原因等)、新水平、新动态、新技术和新发现、发展前景等内容进行综合分析、归纳整理和评论，并提出自己的见解和研究思路。

　　因此，文献综述应该向读者（导师）传达出你所选择的研究课题（topic）已经建立的知识和想法，同时通过文献综述中对reference的讨论研究课题的主要学术来源。

　　e.g.Many earlier studies of purchasing behavior identified two orientations of hedonic shopping and utilitarian shopping which means shopping for fun,experience or shopping rationally and process-oriented approach to shopping(Hirschman and Holbrook,1982:92;Babin et al.1994:644).Recent studies add more variations to analyze purchasing behavior.Gonalves and Sampaio(2012:1525)took gender,income,age and involvement as moderating variables for the investigation of credit card loyalty.

　　此外，在文献综述中还要对你所选择文献的长处（strengths）和局限性（weakness）进行评述，以便向导师展示这些出现在你毕设中的文献真的被你仔细认真的研究过。

　　下面就来看看Literature Review怎么写。
