A good review of the research literature aims at:

Research is a systematic way of investigation, a process of discovering new knowledge. It consists of various steps such as defining of the research problem, formulating hypotheses, collecting of data, analyzing of data and arriving at a conclusion.

Review of Literature: Review of literature is an early step in conducting research. It generally begins with a research problem in mind. It is the summary of research conducted by earlier researchers on the topic similar to the topic of the researcher which enables the researcher to broadens the understanding of the research problem. Past literature is the mirror of the present and future, which helps to develop a thorough understanding and insight into previous research works that relate to the present study

A Good Review of Literature aims at:

• Surveying the existing literature in the chosen area of study and increasing the knowledge about the research problem

• Synthesizing and summarizing the information found in previous research studies
• Critically analyse the information gathered through the review by identifying the research gaps (any aspect which was not covered by the earlier researchers), raising research questions and validating them, showing the opposing viewpoints, formulating areas for further research, etc.
• Minimizing the possibility of unintentional duplication of work
• Evaluating promising research methodologies

Hence, it can be concluded from the above-mentioned points that a good review of research literature aims at generating research questions and validating those questions.
