Why do we do Lit Reviews?

I believe Lit Reviews bring us closer to our topic and helps us to be more creative about our research topics.
They also help support our points of view and research ideas. This can help bring forth further inquiry about a topic
in question.

By reading about what has been written on a specific topic, we can get a broader idea of the topic and move further on. Lit reviews hel support our position in research and can give more credibility to the researcher by citing previous acknowledged research on a particular topic or a similar one.

Lit reviews also help us establish a research pattern nd help us understand which type of research methodology would work best for our intended research. It serves as proof of what's been efficient and has worked in the past and what has not.

I bellieve validity and credibility are the most important points of making a lit review. It's like having an alibi. Like saying, "These people have done this before or have researched this topic before and have found that...." It helps you build yoru case.
