What do you with your review of literature?

This article suggests that review of literature be published as review article for the benefit of research world. These reviews will help in advancement of theories by placing theories on a hierarchy from ad hoc classification systems (in which categories are used to summarize empirical observations), to taxonomies (in which the relationships between the categories can be described), to conceptual frameworks (in which propositions summarize explanations and predictions), to theoretical systems (in which laws are contained within axiomatic or formal theories) (Parsons and Shils 1962).
