*A /*bibliographic essay*/is an interpretive review of the literature on
a particular topic, functioning like a guided tour as it highlights
research conducted in an area of study or inquiry. A bibliographic
essay may also serve to point the way toward further research that could
be undertaken in a particular knowledge domain. The interpretation can
take one of the following forms:
· Survey: Works are selected with the aim of providing an overview of a
topic or area of research.
· Thematic: Works are distilled into a clear and concise summary
highlighting an important concept or trend.
