description Literature reviews demonstrate the progress of knowledge and a comprehensive understanding of related phenomena, contexts, and variables in any subject. Learning how to efficiently conduct a literature review is crucial to succeeding in an academic and even up-to-speed career. Summing up and synthesizing previous research in a particular field of interest indicates enjoying a thorough grasp of the available knowledge. It also lends a hand in learning and moving forward towards being professional in a particular milieu. However, an unorganized growth in literature may hinder amelioration by broaching the probability of complicated, competing, and implausible arguments in the scholarly inquiry. This study is a just-out attempt to develop a typology of review types and present an explanatory insight into the most typical and applicable literature reviews by relying on the aim, significance, applicability, and pros and cons. The goals of conducted typology are to study and analysis different types of literature review to assist researchers to commence their evaluations and place their contribution.
