Introduction
Conduction of literature review is a significant part of the research process which
helps to identify the components of the area of interest. Conducting a literature review helps
to identify the gaps in the research. There are several types of literature reviews, like primary,
secondary and tertiary literature reviews. In case of primary, the sources that are used refer to
the original sources which are based on the observations that are perceive directly by the
researcher. It can be any peer- reviewed journal or a published articles and reports. The
secondary literature reviews involves the data that is obtained from sources of interpretations
and evaluations that are conducted based on the primary sources of the literature. Finally in
case of tertiary, the sources are mainly the textbooks or articles of encyclopaedia and
guidebooks which represent a collection of the primary and the secondary literature sources.
