Most papers require a summary, including literature reviews. Something snappy is recommended: why was the study done, how was it done, what was found, and so what? Four sentences should suffice — it is, after all, a summary. Some authors include an analysis, a consideration, a few ifs and buts, and a good deal of reflection.
