When doing a literature review it can be difficult to know what your paper ought to look like, but it is a good skill to work on since many academic papers at advanced levels have subsections that include literature reviews. If you have not seen one before, though, it can be tricky knowing what your instructor is looking for. Fortunately, you can specifically search for literature reviews in PsycINFO. Looking at a few reviews that have been published in academic journals can be a good way to understand what is expected and that type of language and formatting used.
You can search for literature reviews in the following way:
Note that there may not be a literature review on your specific topic, but if you are just looking for some examples of other literature reviews you can use search terms that are broadly related to your discipline. For example, linked here are results from a literature review search using the term “Rehabilitation Counseling.”
