Conducting a literature review:
Reviewing and rethinking

It is a good idea to look over your notes the day after you do the reading. Doing this straight away means that the material is more likely to end up in your long term memory and therefore be more readily retrievable. The review process should only take ten minutes. A review session also gives you a chance to have another think about the reading material. Re-read your notes, adding additional comment where necessary. Double check that you have all the referencing information.
