以下8步可以助你順利完成一篇review article

1. Check the journal’s aims and scope

確定你所要寫的期刊的類型跟目的，這樣確保你的review article符合要求

2. Define your scope

你需要確定review article的研究方向跟你要回答的reserach question。這個研究的範圍不要太大也不要太小，確保你能為你的研究領域貢獻一些新的知識點。

3. Finding sources to evalsuate

該階段就是做research，需要在不同的搜索引擎或者是數據庫去查找你需要的資源，確保你沒有忽略任何重要的信息。

6. Include critical discussion

確保你呈現一個辯證的討論，而不是一個簡單的描述性的總結。確保探討到一些有爭議的內容並且一個觀點的兩麵性都有被涉及到。 You can also use your review paper to resolve conflict between contradictory studies.

“Once you have the core review section written, take a step back and look for common trends that emerge. Highlight key advances that have been made and areas where more focused research may lead to high impact. These are crucial to show where the field is heading, and any common pitfalls people have struggled with.”
