'Students often struggle with writing an effective literature review and this invaluable guide will help to allay their concerns. Key terms are clearly explained, and the inclusion of learning outcomes is a helpful feature for students and lecturers alike. The examples are also very helpful, particularly for less confident students. This is an accessible yet authoritative guide which I can thoroughly recommend.'

' It's a very readable, concise, and accessible introduction to undertaking a literature review in the field of healthcare.

This text gives students the skills they need to successfully complete their own review.'
'The updating of the chapters will be exceptionally helpful given the rapid changes in online availability of resources and open-access literature.'
Excellent resource. Useful for any stage of studying
Excellent text for masters and doctoral level students
An excellent primer to help the level 7 students write their systemised review for the assignment.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the practical process of literature review in healthcare. It contains all details required to conduct a review by students.
This is an excellent clear and concise book on undertaking literature reviews being particularly good at demystifying jargon. It is timely given the move to student dissertations being primarily literature reviews in the current Covid pandemic. However nearly all the examples are drawn from nursing and health making the text less useful for social care and social work. A little disappointing given the title. SW students are likely to gravitate to texts where their subject is more prominent for a primary text.
Accessible, informative, step to step guide
This is a really helpful, accessible text for students and academic staff alike.
A really good addition to the repertoire of skills and techniques for understanding the essential process of literature reviewing.
