Writing the Literature Review: A Practical Guide by Sara Efrat Efron, coauthored with Ruth Ravid, is an academic writing guide published by Guilford Press for students and instructors working on theses, dissertations, term papers, and grant proposals. The book treats the literature review not as a mechanical summary of sources but as a structured scholarly argument built through searching, selecting, evaluating, organizing, synthesizing, and writing about prior research. Its genre is practical research-writing pedagogy: it explains procedures, offers organizational guidance, and uses examples of student work to make an often uncertain academic task more concrete. The book is especially oriented toward novice graduate and doctoral researchers who need to understand what a literature review does, how it differs from an annotated bibliography, and how it can support a research problem. Its purpose is to translate the conventions of academic inquiry into manageable steps while also addressing higher-level concerns such as voice, positionality, citation ethics, and revision.
