Why Bother about Literature Reviews?

This book has been written to help social work students and professionals produce focused, well-researched and appropriately written literature reviews. There are several contexts in which you may be required to produce a literature review, including:

Social work undergraduate or postgraduate programmes may require students to produce a project or dissertation, which is based around (or incorporates) a literature review.

Research into social work practice is becoming increasingly evidence-based, which requires that practitioners and researchers are familiar with the findings that have been published in the literature around social work theory and practice.

The following chapters focus on (i) the practical steps involved in preparing and producing a literature review and (ii) the wider context in which literature reviews are used in social work learning and practice.

help you find relevant information

provide you with opportunities to develop your skills

prompt you to consider issues in more detail

help you consolidate your learning and understanding
