Do you ever stare at a half-written literature review paragraph and think, “Where the heck am I going with all of this?” Do you ever worry that your paragraphs are either too convoluted or just an endless stream of summaries?

Hey co-authors! In this episode, we dig into how to write crisp, compelling paragraphs in your literature review. We’ll talk unpack the common traps and then walk through a clear, three-step approach for crafting paragraphs with purpose. You can also access an annotated example through this Google Drive link. In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

• Start each paragraph with a strong analytical claim, not a description.
• Synthesize studies using patterns, agreements, and contradictions—not one-study summaries.
• Add reasoning and transitions that highlight consequences, contradictions, or gaps.
• Check your work with quick diagnostics.

Tune in to learn how to write paragraphs that argue, connect, and build momentum—one clear, intentional claim at a time.
