論文概念辨析：study background 和 literature review 有什么區別？
The study background and the literature review talk about the existing knowledge in a research area and help identify the gaps that need to be addressed. However, there are significant distinctions between them. The study background is the first part of the Introduction section, which introduces the research topic and sets the context of your research. It is usually followed by the literature review*, which provides a critical analysis of the literature on your research topic.
研究背景（study background）和文獻綜述（literature review）都利用現有信息去鎖定有待解決的問題，但又不完全一樣。研究背景放在引言開頭，用來闡述研究主題，介紹背景。文獻綜述通常跟在研究背景之后，對研究領域內的文獻進行綜合分析。
The background of a study is written to state the significance of your research while the literature review is written to evaluate the progress of knowledge in your research area. While the study background is written in a short and concise manner, the literature review is relatively detailed, although it should be focused on only that literature that is needed to provide context and motivation for your research question. Both of them eventually lead readers to gaps in research that have remained unaddressed. We can say that the background broadly introduces the topic of your research while the literature review tracks the existing knowledge in the field and helps identify the exact gaps in research that your study will address.
研究背景強調的是你自己的研究，而文獻綜述關注研究所在領域的綜合情況。研究背景講究短而精，文獻綜述就詳盡得多，寫作時要學會篩選和你研究最相關的文獻。兩者都能引導讀者發現有待解決的研究問題。總的來說，研究背景負責介紹研究主題，文獻綜述負責捋清知識結構，找出懸而未決的問題。
