It is important that the dissertation proves that its author was able to summarize the literature on the chosen topic, create a connection between the points of view, present complementary or contradictory scientific opinions, draw conclusions, comprehensively outline the given problem while revealing the author’s position and opinion.

Thus, this type of dissertation is a synthesis-like summary of the knowledge acquired on the basis of the literature, the perception and presentation of possible discussions and differences of opinion present in the literature, and the formation of an independent position on this basis.

During the preparation of the dissertation, it is key to provide detailed and thorough evidence on the chosen topic, based on a wide database, to present the evidence that supports or even calls into question the author's point of view on the given topic. The dissertation should also present the test methods through which the presented, compared data were generated.

The process and structure of the preparation of a dissertation based on literature review differs from that of a dissertation based on an examination.
