Guide to Writing a Literature Review // Purdue OWL
"When we say 'literature review' or refer to 'the literature,' we are talking about the research (scholarship) in a given field. You will often see the terms 'the research,' 'the scholarship,' and 'the literature' used mostly interchangeably."
"A literature review is part of a research paper, usually falling after the introduction and before the research methods sections. The lit review covers the scholarship that is important to the issue you are writing about; sometimes it will also cover key sources that informed your research methodology."
