This really makes it tough to maintain with the state of art and be at the research’s forefront and to evaluate the total evidence in a specific zone of the business research. Therefore, the literature reviews in research processes are more relevant than in the previous times. Traditionally literature reviews lack rigor and thoroughness. They were done ad hoc, in spite of following a particular approach or methodology. Hence questions could be asked regarding the trustworthiness and quality of those reviews. This research paper apparently discusses the literature reviews as a process of performing the research and reveals the overviews of various review types. It also provides few guidelines regarding how to perform and assess the literature reviews. It discusses regarding the usual pitfalls and also how to publish the literature reviews.
