A literature review is a method of demonstrating an author's knowledge of a specific field of study, including vocabulary, theories, and key concepts. Variables and phenomena, as well as its methods and history. A literature review also informs the student of the field's influential researchers and research groups. Finally, the literature review is a "legitimate and publishable scholarly document" with some modifications.

Aside from the reasons stated above (proving knowledge, producing a publishable document, and identifying a research family), there are numerous scientific reasons for conducting a literature review. And the review of literature is relevant for limiting the research problem, seeking novel lines of inquiry, avoiding fruitless approaches, gaining methodological insights, identifying recommendations for future research, and seeking support for the grounded theory, all examples of research methods, distinguishing between what has been done and what needs to be done, discovering important variables relevant to the topic, synthesizing and gaining a comprehensive perspective, establishing links between ideas and practices, establishing the topic's or problem's context, rationalizing the problem's significance, expanding and acquiring subject vocabulary, comprehending subject structure, relating ideas and theory to applications, identifying the main methodologies and research techniques used, and placing the research in a historical context to demonstrate familiarity with cutting-edge developments.

Another reason for writing a literature review that was not mentioned above is that it provides a framework for relating new findings to previous findings in a dissertation's discussion section. It is impossible to determine how the new research advances previous research without first determining the state of the previous research.
