I love writing Review Papers, NOT, for now anyway

I really don't but here are some great tips!

1. Brilliant Topic

If you are an amateur in writing like myself here. find yourself a topic of your interest with a direct and precise title.

2. Obviously, RESEARCH

Compile your reads in a table form and summarise the topic of interest to efficiently recall the literatures. The table will come in handy later on when you are writing the big pain in the ass.

3. Focus

The excessive information is easy for the tendency to cover too many things. At the same time, keep the review broad in interest and relevant in a wide applications.

4. Critical discussion

Don't just summarise, include mapping of ideas, identify criticle issues and predicting potentials of the reviewed paper.

5. Tell a story

Connect the dots. People can tell if you are merely copy and pasting stuff so be your own story teller.

6. Feedback

Supervisor, colleagues and reviewers could greatly help improve a review draft.

7. Study nook

Writing a great piece of review paper requires a shitload mass access of information, so prepare yourself to hide in a cave for weeks if not months. Be comfortable, a place with minimal distractions, get ready of snacks and write away!
