Literature Map helps researchers review literature for gaps and points of impact. They are useful in both academic and industry related research projects to help gain traction and market interest.
Research projects usually start with a Literature Review which involves using tools such as search engines ( e.g. google scholar) and document management and reference systems (e.g. Endnote and Mandalay).
The literature review will attempt to create a space for the research project that has not been covered or is yet to be developed.
Literature Mapping uses graphical methods to plot your literature in a graphical format. There are many types of graphical method from mind mapping to infographic formats.

How to Create a Literature Map
Dr Jon Drane brought to life the concept of the Literature Map during his doctorate at UNSW Built Environment. The enormous amount of references and sources that he discovered during his research into city and property development processes needed a more graphical representation. He started a Literature Map interest group on Researchgate
