 Have you been approached by a journal or senior scientist with an offer to write a literature review? If yes, we keep watching. My name is Katerina Kolkova and I have been a scientist for almost 20 years. I publish scientific papers that also include writing your review paper. Today, I would like to share with you some main tips on writing your review. First of all, literature reviews are in great demand in most scientific fields. If you are studying from scratch, reviewing the literature can require a tight, tiny amount of work. That's why, if you have spent your career working on a certain research issue, you are in the perfect position to review the literature. The main outlines for writing a review are pick a topic you are interested in and that you have experienced researching and that is also interesting to others. Write yourself plenty of time to write a scientific review. Compiling years of scientific progress into a short review article is not so easy and it requires good understanding of the literature and implications of the discovery's makeup that's found. However, once you start reading, they will be temptation to include every piece of information that was ever published, so it's good to decide on the main topic for the review straight from the beginning. Make a structural outline and get the journal submission rules for every article. It is nice to have formal rules for structuring your review. So you stick to the accepted word limit and format already from the beginning, shaping your paper according to journal criteria. Be very well acquainted with the literature, so start reading a lot. This includes analyzing yourself with content. Look for areas that have not been thoroughly reviewed or areas for which you think you have fresh take on all data. Make notes while reading the literature. Establish a system for making notes and group them while you make them. Analyze published scientific literature, a review paper is not a pure summary of the information you read for a review. You are required to analyze, synthesize, interpret and view information you read in some meaningful way. Remember to discuss significant findings, use figures and graphics and references to original sources of the information or end illustrations. Remember to make your own unique conclusions since it is a crucial part of the paper and these conclusions can hopefully help other scientists to see review material from a new perspective and shape a new life on what is known in the future. Discuss the future of the field. By our own human nature, we would like to look forward in the future, so speculate on how the future will improve our understanding of the field. And important, ask for feedback. These could be your colleagues and of course mentor, their fresh look, fresh view on the field and fresh eyes on what you have written. So this is very, very important and invaluable. Good luck with writing.
