Can anyone suggest me any good books or research articles or reviews on coarse grained modeling? I would prefer those books dealing with the technique itself rather than its application.
Thanks in advance
Are you interested in the force-field development for coarse grained models or coming up with the coarse-graining strategies? The second question is probably the most difficult, particularly for irregular macromolecules (proteins, nucleic acids, lipids).
My suggestion would be to start from reading works of experts in the field Arieh Warshel, Greg Voth and Peter Tieleman.
The first one (see the link to annual review) is a good historical prospective on the field and a review of coarse graining in the context of multi-scale modeling. Mostly focused on proteins. They came up with one of the first CG model for proteins with Michael Levitt.
Voth has extended the force-matching method to reduce fine model to the coarse one, I just found this book, which also has contributions by other experts in the field.
And then Tieleman has a number of interesting works on lipids. Attached is a link to one of the most popular CG force fields (also implemented in Gromacs, which is free). Might be very practical.
Hope this is useful, at least to begin with!
If you end up finding particularly useful/comprehensive scholarly texts - please share!
Nick

Just found this review by Voth in case the book is hard to get

Thank you Nick for your valuable suggestions. I am in fact interested in the second part. But now I will start with the writings of the experts of the field just like you suggested. I will certainly share if I find some interesting scholarly articles.
A comprehensive review on coarse-grained protein models has just been published in Chemical Reviews http://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acs.chemrev.6b00163
