Writing a critical review: structure

Findings:

  • You might start this section by saying something like:
    • For the purposes of this section of the review, research will be discussed thematically by research approach. Of the 15 studies reviewed, seven adopted a qualitative methodology….(you could then go on to compare and contrast findings of these 7 studies and strengths and limitations)
    • Once you have discussed each of these categories, compared findings, and considered strengths and limitations,  you can provide an overall summary to tie up the section.
  • See next page for an example
