What is the purpose of including a Preliminary Literature Review?

The technique being tested is using a Preliminary Literature Review to ground your study. This part surveys and brings together existing research related to your topic, showing what is already known and how your question fits into that landscape. By referencing related studies, you build a background that supports why your topic matters, what gaps or questions remain, and how your approach or methods will address them. This creates a justified path for your research and helps readers see the theoretical or empirical basis for your work. The other options aren’t about this grounding purpose: presenting final results belongs to the results section; stating the submission date is an administrative detail; and listing potential funders is related to funding and acknowledgments rather than the literature grounding of the study.
