Some Possible Ways of Structuring a Literature Review Chronological organisation The discussion of the research /articles is ordered according to an historical or developmental context. The 'Classic' studies organisation A discussion or outline of the major writings regarded as significant in your area of study. (Remember that in nearly all research there are 'benchmark' studies or articles that should be acknowledged). Topical or thematic organisation The research is divided into sections representing the categories or conceptual subjects for your topic. The discussion is organised into these categories or subjects. Inverted pyramid organisation The literature review begins with a discussion of the related literature from a broad perspective. It then deals with more and more specific or localised studies which focus increasingly on the specific question at hand.
