How do you keep from getting side tracked and looking at less relevant literature? Organization is important in
writing, and organizing how you are going to write your literature review is equally important. Recall that a good
starting point for organizing your literature review and keeping it focused is to have your research question at
the beginning.
For this Discussion, you explain the purpose of the organization in preparation for your writing and describe
different techniques you developed to write your literature review.
