New books and articles are being published all the time. Your literature review should be updated if your project is researched and written over a long period of time. You can do this by:
- setting up search alerts on databases so that you are notified when new articles matching your keywords are published
- following key people and organisations on social media
- browsing tables of contents of new issues of journals in your subject
- using alerting services/newsletters from publishers
