Develop a Technical Literature Review

For this assignment, you must use the template provided in the weekly  resources to write a literature review based on the research you  conducted in the previous assignment. You should use the Literature  Synthesis Matrix template provided in the weekly resources to help you  organize your resources and to identify your main ideas (subtopics) and  research findings (key ideas).

The following items must be included in your literature review:

• Abstract – The abstract should be limited to 250 words and should briefly summarize the entire paper, including the findings.
• Introduction – The introduction should briefly describe your  topic and should identify the purpose of the paper. (Why are you  comparing all these resources?)
• Literature Review – The literature review should describe the  literature currently available about the research topic. Use a  literature synthesis matrix to help you organize the content by  subtopics. This section should contain the facts, not your opinions.
• Discussion – The discussion should indicate what is known,  what is not yet known, areas of general agreement, and areas of  disagreement or conflicting evidence about the research topic. Use the  annotations you created in the previous assignment to help you add this  type of detail. For example, you may discover common ideas were not  included in a particular article because the author doesn’t have the  credentials to be an expert on the topic.
• Conclusion – The conclusion should restate the purpose (from  the introduction) and summarize your findings (from the discussion). Be  sure to clearly indicate what you learned when you compared all the  articles together.
• References – The list of references analyzed and cited in the paper.

Length: 6 page academic paper following APA guidelines

References: Include a minimum of 6 scholarly resources

The completed assignment should address all of the assignment  requirements, exhibit evidence of concept knowledge, and demonstrate  thoughtful consideration of the content presented in the course. The  writing should integrate scholarly resources, reflect academic  expectations and current APA standards, and include a plagiarism report.
