Dissertation Literature Review

If you're searching for literature review help or wondering, “Help me write my dissertation,” you're not alone. Chapter 2—the literature review—is often one of the most time-consuming and complex parts of the dissertation process. This chapter demands in-depth engagement with current research to identify a clear gap in the literature and demonstrate the scholarly need for your study. It's also where you establish your credibility as a researcher and expert in your field.

At Academic Advantage Consulting, we offer specialized dissertation writing help—including full support with your dissertation literature review. Our process begins with identifying and summarizing approximately 20 high-quality sources that highlight the literature gap and directly align with your topic. Once you approve the core sources, we draft, organize, and complete a full-length literature review—typically 40 to 45 pages—tailored to your university’s guidelines and academic standards.

Most successful dissertation literature reviews require 75–80% of sources to be recent (published within the past 3 to 4 years), with the remaining 20–25% drawn from foundational or seminal works. We ensure that your literature review meets this balance while aligning tightly with your research problem, purpose, and methodology.

Although we generally recommend completing your Introduction and Methodology chapters first to ensure alignment, we understand that some programs require Chapter 2 to be submitted early. Whether you're just starting out or already deep in the writing process, our team provides personalized dissertation help to guide you through Chapter 2 with clarity, structure, and confidence.
