Review the Sample Literature Table.

Develop Section 4: Literature Review Table, which is a preliminary draft of your literature table, including at least 5 studies. Section 4: Literature Review Table includes each research study reviewed in the critique of literature. Table columns address significant aspects of the studies/phenomenon of interest. It provides detailed information not provided in the context of the paper.

Each table entry should be listed in alphabetical order (similar to the Reference page) and include the following:

• Authors’ names: last name, first initial.
• Year of study
• Study design
• N(number of subjects/participants)
• Study findings: Bullet points and brief information on results; this should be information gained from the study (results/discussion section), rather than the introduction (which would be a secondary citation).
• Other: a column for other item in case there’s something important that was not thought of before beginning

Note: The final Literature Review Table will be 3-4 pages and does not count in the page limit for the entire paper. In the draft and final paper, the literature review table is inserted after the Reference page, at the end of the paper as Appendix: Literature Review Table
