In writing the literature review, the purpose is to convey to the reader what knowledge and ideas have been established on a topic, and what their strengths and weaknesses are. The literature review must be defined by a guiding concept (e.g. your research objective, the problem or issue you are discussing, or your argumentative thesis).
You can register your copyright with the U.S. Copyright Office. Registration creates a formal, federal record of your creative work and can be used in court as evidence of your creation in the event of a legal challenge to copyright ownership. You can register your work online at the Electronic Copyright Office. At time of publication the fee for online registration was $35.
Even though the costs aren't significant, we recommend filing your copyright online since the waiting period for online registration is 9 months compared to 22 months for a paper application. International copyright registration requires additional fees based on the filing processes in specific foreign jurisdictions.
