Literature reviews should be reported in a way that reflects the scientific rigor of their research methods. Comprehensive and clear reporting will add to the transparency and reproducibility of your review project. Some guidelines to help you do this are listed below. For examples from your own discipline, look for published reviews in highly regarded journals within your subject area. There may also be organisations within your field that have suggested frameworks or recommendations.
