The main things should be acknowledged while writing a Review paper
1. Know what you are writing. You need to think about the outline and organization.
2 .The summary, built around the significant points, facts, and the main information.
Discussion of the positive aspects – good quality of writing, not biased, well-researched. Discussion of the negative aspects – gaps, discrepancies, mistakes, etc. Include the information on the data the writer presents, and the possible bias he or she may have head while writing.
3. Examine the source. Do not start by reading the whole work. Review the parts like title, abstract or summary, table of contents, intro, and the conclusion.
4. Make connections. When you read the work again, highlight the main points made bythe writer, the facts that support them, etc. Try to understand why the workwas written in the first place, and what the writer aimed to convey.
5. Draft in your own words. You will most likely use it as a basis for the reviewpaper you will write, but there is no need to pay too much attention to the way you structure sentences.
6. Evaluate.Even though it is hard to assess the work of an expert in the field, you needto find both the parts the writer coped with, and the things the writer failed
7. Present the paper. Keep in mind that you should state what you are reviewing at the very beginning, and cite the source at the end
8. Start with creating an intro. Include the data on the background, the main claims and arguments provided.
9. Make a summary. Do it in your own words, but still refer to the source, especially such parts as abstract or the conclusion.
10. Present the critical appraisal. Present both good and bad sides.
11. Finalize & refine. Conclude by summarizing the main ideas, informing the reader about the implications of this source, and its applicability in certain situations.
