Literature Review Structure Blueprint

A literature review with no structure becomes a shapeless summary of everything you read. Give your research question, field and level, and this builds a blueprint: a thematic or chronological structure with section headings and a note on what each section does, so the review argues toward your study rather than just listing papers.

I need to write a structured literature review for my research project. My research question is: {RESEARCH_QUESTION}. My field is: {FIELD}. I am at {ACADEMIC_LEVEL} level (e.g. undergraduate, postgraduate, doctoral).

Generate a detailed structural blueprint for my literature review. Include:
1. A recommended thematic or chronological structure with section headings and a brief description of what each section should cover.
2. Guidance on how to open the review (contextualising the field, establishing scope).
3. How to synthesise, not merely summarise, sources within each section.
4. How to identify and surface tensions or contradictions between sources.
5. How to write a closing section that connects the literature gap to my own research question.

Also provide one example paragraph demonstrating effective synthesis using made-up but plausible source names.
