Top tips for the NEA literature review
Introduction.
The phrase 'literature review' is an academic way of saying that you should look at a range of geographical books, websites, or journals when you are researching your NEA. Then, when you write up your report, you must acknowledge any of these sources you have used.

An effective literature review will prove that you have a wider theoretical understanding of the geography that underpins your research. Your literature review will prove that you understand how key ideas are discussed by geographers. Hopefully, your fieldwork research will show whether or not these generalisations are true in the specific place you are investigating.
Written by fieldwork expert Andy Owen (Insight and Perspective), this very informative presentation will support students with the NEA literature review.
