Article Writing: Literature Review
Complete a formal literature review pertaining to Vaccination Reluctance and Public Health. The primary purpose of a literature review is to provide a review of the most important research (“literature”) related to a given topic and to compare and analyze that research and literature to give a complete picture of/background on the topic.
You will need a total of 10 sources (See sources below from original work).
Give a detailed overview of the topic in relation to your research question.
Analyze and critique the sources you have collected in a way that illuminates the topic in relation to your research question—be sure you’re giving a complete overview of the topic and perspectives on it, and be absolutely sure that your sources are substantive and highly credible.
What are the major perspectives on the topic? Which seem credible, and which do not—and why?
Is there disagreement among experts and/or practitioners about the topic? What is the nature of those disagreements? Does one case seem to have more evidence in its favor?
Is there particular misunderstanding about the topic on the part of the public? What is the nature of this misunderstanding? Why is there a gap between popular conceptions/misunderstandings and available information that is accurate?
In conclusion, propose an answer or answers to the primary research question, as your review of the literature gives evidence. You will not dwell on proving your position but rather focus on what highly credible sources argue about the topic.
