Picking an area: Narrow your area as much as possible. This is to avoid the need to cover an extensive list of journal articles. For example, you may want to identify a variable used in the articles and explore the relevance of its usage. • Number of articles: You are expected to read 8 – 12 articles. Please do not just provide a summary of each article and do not reference articles that you have not read or do not understand.• Motivation: Your main objective is to critically review/comment on what you have read. DO NOT reproduce definitions, explanation of theories, charts and graphs.• Writing: Each section should have at least two or three paragraphs; each paragraph should have at least three or four sentences. Write simple straightforward sentences; one sentence one idea. To avoid having a similarity index on Turnitin, do not paraphrase sentences from the journal articles; use your own words to elaborate.• Abstract: Do this after you completed the conclusion. Condense of your whole literature review, including objective, current issues, future research, and the importance of the literature review. • Introduction: Start with the background and motivation of the literature review. Describe the aim or objective of the literature review, summarise what you have found from the current literature, what are the current unsolved issues that may lead to the future research. Outline the contribution of the literature review to the finance literature (fills a gap, provides knowledge, argues current issues, and sheds a light on, etc). Explain the significance of the literature review, to investors, to managers, to regulators, etc. Finally map or illustrate the layout of the main body section of your review.• Body of the literature review: Do not provide quotes from existing literature. Critique their points and make a reference to it with (Author, year). Try to argue the literature on both sides; do not just summarise. Do not summarise concepts or theories and reproduce diagrams from the textbook; you will be penalised.• Conclusion: Discuss what you have found, summarise unsolved issues and important debates. Reinforce the contributions and significance of this literature review and finally, indicate and discuss the future research areas.• Additional assistance: Approach CBS Communication Skills Centre. Book an appointment and go obtain assistance on your review before you submit. • To search articles, you should use the library journal database, Google Scholar or directly to the home page of the journal.• When to start the literature review: As you are not required to explain concepts and theories, you do not need the topic to be covered in the lecture prior to commencement.
