Effective Literature Review Process
Conducting a literature review is essential in research to understand existing work and identify future directions. This involves evaluating various sources related to your chosen topic, summarizing key points, and creating tables for comparison. Start by brainstorming topic-related terms and using relevant databases. Focus on source titles, abstracts, and conclusions while taking notes to capture essential information. By following a structured process, you can enhance your understanding of recent research in your field and highlight gaps for potential future work.

WHAT IS LITERATURE REVIEW Literature Review is the process of identifying and evaluating many sources in the specific topic of your choice Examples of topics to do literature review: Smart Grid Power Systems Nanoscale analog circuits Machine learning for drone application Latest digital processor techniques Importance of Literature Review Makes you familiar with recent research in your field Helps you to identify what has already been done Helps you to identify what may be a good topic for future work Increases your knowledge in your field
HOW TO START A LITERATURE REVIEW Begin by writing down terms that are related to your topic smart grid power systems nanoscale systems 4G antenna systems Identify databases that are relevant to your field IEEE Xplore https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/Xplore/home.jsp Pubmed https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ Limit time limit of search Past 5 years Past 10 years (if required)
LITERATURE REVIEW PROCESS Go through the source title, abstract, introduction, heading of each section and conclusion Focus on the main goals of the paper Take notes as you read Note ~ 5 points for each study that summarizes the main points and conclusions Make a table to include summaries from different sources
