Hi, I'm new and desperate for some help, please.

I am doing a meta-analysis (technically a meta-interpretive analysis) for my dissertation, which in essence is a type of detailed and analytical literature review. What then, do I put into (or not put into) my literature review chapter?

I am going to be manually working through a ton of articles and sources and will create a detailed report on the process and findings, but what does that leave for the literature review?

Any ideas or insights would be much appreciated!
