Abstract
Sir/Madam, the significance of a meticulous literature searchcan never be emphasized enough. It is rightly said that newknowledge is often generated in the process of interpretingand incorporating existing knowledge.1 For most scientificconducts and writings therefore, an in-depth literature searchis a must. It is defined as ‘the methodical investigation ofall published sources for information bearing on a usuallyscientific or technological subject’.2 It is a dynamic processthat is regarded as the prime step in any research.3 Itsfundamental aims are familiarization with the current bodyof pertinent literature and identification of any gaps thatmay exist within it. The major challenge in understandingthe literature review process is to unlock a researcher’scommitment with the literature.4
