How Long Should a Literature Review Be in a 10,000-Word Dissertation?
#1
Many students often ask, how long should a literature review be in a 10000 word dissertation? The general rule is that the literature review should make up around 25–30% of your total word count, which means it’s typically 2,500 to 3,000 words long. This section is where you critically analyze existing studies, highlight research gaps, and establish how your work fits into the broader academic discussion.
Still, the exact length can vary depending on your field of study, research depth, and university requirements. Whether you’re working in science, business, or humanities, the goal of your literature review in a 10000 word dissertation is to demonstrate your understanding of the topic — keeping it detailed yet concise enough to maintain focus on your research objectives.
