A literature review is the chapter of a dissertation where most students lose marks, and the chapter most often outsourced as a standalone deliverable. The mistake students make is treating it as a summary — what each paper says, paper by paper. Markers want synthesis — what the literature collectively shows, what gaps remain, where your work fits.

What we write

Dissertation literature review chapters (4,000–10,000 words at master's level; 12,000–25,000 at PhD). Standalone literature reviews for research papers (1,500–4,000 words). Systematic literature reviews using PRISMA-aligned methodology when the assignment requires it. Integrative reviews for nursing and education work.

The synthesis test

A literature review passes the synthesis test when you can describe the field's collective position without naming any single paper. The field broadly agrees that X but is divided on Y. If your review reads as a sequence of paper summaries instead, the synthesis isn't there. Our editors apply this test to every literature review before delivery.

Citation hygiene

30–80 sources for a master's-level review; 80–200+ for a PhD review. All sources tracked properly in your chosen citation style (APA, Harvard, OSCOLA, Vancouver, IEEE). Reference library delivered in BibTeX or RIS for import into your Zotero or EndNote.
