Review of the Literature
The review of the literature has an introduction with a thesis, a body and a summary

articles available for your research advisor. Also included in the review of the literature are
Bahamas government (Central Bank of The Bahamas, Department of Statistics etc.) and United Nations publications (e.g., World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank etc.). Seminal

works (original research) are not restricted by publication date. E.g., original research by
Abraham Maslow, 1958. No books are allowed except in the Methodology.
As practised in the summaries, your task is to summarize and/or synthesize research
articles. Do not comment on the articles. All works must be cited per the American
Psychological Association style manual. All works cited must be included in the References.

transitions to improve.
