I am writing a review article for the first time. Previously, most of my research work was based on the original research papers involving fieldwork and proper primary data collection. But, this time around, it's something new for me. Kindly guide me on this.
Thank you all.
Describe clearly how you obtained and selected the papers, that you are reviewing. Especially the selection part requires attention, try to formulate objective inclusion or exclusion criteria.
In my opinion, a good review is not a simple bringing together of all the information considered worthwhile, but also a critical appraisal where considered necessary by the reviewer.
Good luck!
