"State of the Art (SotA) literature reviews provide a time-based overview of the current state of knowledge about a phenomenon and suggest directions for future research. They are organized in relation to how the understanding of the phenomena has evolved over time. Structured around turning points in the history of knowledge development, SotA reviews articulate: This is where we are now. This is how we got here. This is where we should go next"
