I would like to ask if there is any methodology for writing a scientific review because it seems so different from an article redaction. and what the difference between a mini-review and a length review
thank you
There are about 14 different types of reviews such as scoping, systematic, integrative, mixed methods, qualitative, and so forth. More recent papers may have added additional reviews. For details about these types you can look up Grant and Booth (2009) paper. Writing a good review requires a systematic approach such as development of a focused question, choice of appropriate review type, comprehensive literature search, data extraction, analysis and synthesis. Generally, most of the international journals require authors to follow the PRISMA guidelines for review writing. There are several extensions of these guidelines such as PRISMA-ScR. My suggestion would be to read Grant and Booth's paper and then choose your review type in accordance with your review question. Write and design your review in accordance with the reporting guidelines.

Your review should follow the following structure:
- Abstract
- Write this last
- A summary of your main thesis and the studies you examine in your review
- Introduction
- Introduce your topic
- Outline what you will discuss throughout the review
- Frame the paper with your thesis
- Tell your audience why it is important that you reviewed the literature in your topic area
- Body
- Can take different forms depending on your topic
- Break it up into sections if this is helpful (i.e. if you are studying three different methodologies, then you can break your body into three main sections)
- Go through all of the literature in detail, in an organized fashion
- Discussion/Conclusion
- Restate your thesis
- Wrap up your review by drawing everything together and making sure it is clear what conclusions you draw about your topic or field of study based on the research studies you read and analyzed.
- References
- Make sure your references are formatted correctly and all present
- This paper is all about the references! Cite everything that you discuss. For tips on when and how to cite, visit the next page on the drop-down menu under "Writing in the Sciences!"
