I would like to investigate some areas in Project/Progaram or Portfolio management to an extent of creating a review paper.
I am also open for areas in risk management, scheduling managemnt and Work Breakdonw Structure.
In order to search for a research topic, you may want to do the following: search on Google Scholar, and write the words, say "Project/Progaram or Portfolio management" or any other topic you want to write about. You will get many papers talking about such topic. Try to skim through these papers (especially their Abstracts) for 2 main reasons: 1- to see what has already been written about the topic, and 2- to check for the research gap/gaps that you want to cover in your study. This is a start. By the way, you may want to keep such relevant research papers to use them as references in your research. You may use the latest papers published about the topic.
The above is to do a study on a certain topic. For review, you may want to collect relevant papers, put each paper's own findings, and put your views upon each of these findings. There are certain guidelines for writing review papers; you may check some of these well-written review papers. Again, always check Google Scholar for good papers.
Hmm, not sure whether 'review' could also mean 'survey', but let's assume the intent is similar - that is to examine the range of practices and maybe comment on what seems best.
Start as Dr. Al-Baidhani suggests by reviewing online the topic to get a sense of what the experts are saying. Make a list of the most salient points and consolidate into two or three themes you wish to explore further. Next turn it into a list of pertinent questions you could ask practitioners within an hour's time interview. Finally, contact these practitioners to find out what they are doing on the ground, where they differ from the experts, and why.
Then write your 'review' or 'survey' paper with this solid foundation. You have become one of the 'experts' that others will review...
Maybe this can help
