Critique Your Dissertation Literature Review for Gaps

Your literature review looks complete, but a supervisor's eye might find a debate you skipped or a body of evidence you weighted wrong. Paste the chapter and this runs a coverage audit, flagging absent positions and misrepresented weight. For doctoral and postgraduate students wanting hard feedback before submission.

<context>
You are a doctoral supervisor giving critical feedback on a literature review chapter. The student has written a review that covers the field but may have missed important debates or misrepresented the weight of evidence. [paste your literature review chapter or section here]

**Coverage audit**
1. Identify any major theoretical position or debate in this field that is absent from the review. Note whether its absence is a gap or a justified omission.
2. Flag any claim about the state of the literature that is supported by only one or two citations when the point requires broader consensus.

**Argument structure**
3. Assess whether the review builds an argument (leading to the research gap that justifies this study) or merely reports what others have said.
4. Identify the point where the narrative moves from describing existing work to establishing the gap. Is this transition clear?

**Citation balance**
5. Flag any author or single study that is cited so frequently it suggests over-reliance.
