A literature review is how researchers find out what is already known before asking a new question. It is not a summary of random articles - it is a structured map of existing knowledge on a specific topic.
Brief
A literature review is how researchers find out what is already known before asking a new question. It is not a summary of random articles - it is a structured map of existing knowledge on a specific topic.
In this challenge, pick one topic you are genuinely curious about - something in your field, your city, or your daily life. Then find 3 to 5 credible sources (academic papers, reports, or books) that discuss it. Read them, compare what they agree and disagree on, and identify one gap - something they do not fully answer.
This is the skill that separates students who research from students who just read.
