Rather than focusing on the current research, a review paper critically analyzes the existing knowledge and past research done on a particular topic.
Writing a review paper is similar to writing a literature review but unlike being a chapter, a review paper is a complete research document in itself. This means that it is independent and more explicit in nature to be easily understood by the reader.
A review paper can be of three types; narrative, systematic and meta-analysis. The narrative review is basically the summary of all the available information regarding a research topic; the past findings, methodologies and outcome. The systematic literature review focuses on one research question and considers existing studies which focus on the same question and are directly related to the current research. The meta-analysis compares and draws contrasts between the existing data which addresses the same question but have different conclusions to find out the most appropriate result.
For any type of review paper writing, it is important to critically analyse the previous studies and it affects the current state of knowledge. Any outdated study that is neither directly nor indirectly makes a change in the current knowledge should be discarded straight away.
A literature review is conducted on the studies which provide a reasonable support to the research. The differences in methodologies and time of research can bring about differences in the conclusion and highlight the research differences and gaps in the existing literature which needs to be covered in the review paper writing. It should also leave the readers with questions that need to be answered and become the basis of future research.
A review paper should also focus on establishing the reason for conducting a research in the specific area as well as define the scope of research. The research is not valuable enough unless it is based on a discovery or making amends in the past methodologies to modify the current status. Therefore, the review paper must highlight the need for research.
In order to make sure that the review paper does not lack in terms of quality, the team of PhD Helping Hand makes sure of three points.
