RRL or Review of Related Literature is a critical analysis of previous research on a topic. It serves several purposes: to provide context for one's own research, connect the research to current knowledge, and clarify, expand, support or refute prior findings. To write an RRL, one searches relevant databases and texts using keywords, evaluates sources, identifies themes and gaps, outlines the structure, and writes the review. The structure can be chronological, thematic, compare methods, or discuss theories. The RRL summarizes and synthesizes sources to provide context and situate new research.
