Instructions for students

A literature review is a specialised form. of essay which summarises and reviews the evidence and concepts concerning a particular area of research.

Here are guidelines to help you fulfil this task:

1.   Identify a broad subject area that interests you

2.   Find and read relevant literature in that area. Try to gain a broad impression of the field from books and review articles. Discuss your ideas with a relevant member of staff.

3.   Select a relevant and concise title. A narrow subject area will cut down on the amount of literature you will be expected to review, but will restrict the conclusions you can make.

4.     See Chapter 19 of the course book: Practical Skills in Chemistry, (Prentice Hall)) for more information on writing a literature review.

5.   When you have selected a title, you will need to find relevant papers:

Read the papers carefully and make your best effort to understand them reasonably well. It is normal that people who try to read original research literature for the first time initially have the impression that they do not understand anything. This is best overcome by diving in at the deep end. Do not give up! Use the library to understand new concepts and specific jargon. Reading and understanding these papers is a major part of this exercise and will help you to become acquainted with the scientific literature. This exercise will also help you to learn how to access and select information, for example, from the library. These are very important skills that you will have to use extensively during your professional life.

Identify and list the main scientific findings reported in each paper and find out how they relate to previous knowledge. Using science database for searching information is a very useful skill for research students. You can find the latest information in journals and conferences and keep track of what is just published on a particular topic. You will be given a tutorial on using the online resources available.

Web of Science: A very useful database that allows you to search using authors and keywords. It lists journal and conference articles. A very useful feature is the links to papers that have cited the work.

http://libguides.lib.xjtlu.edu.cn/content.php?pid=420737&sid=3439549

Science Direct: Another leading full-text scientific database from Elsevier lists both journal and conference articles.

http://libguides.lib.xjtlu.edu.cn/content.php?pid=420737&sid=3439545

Some tips for searching

•   Good searching skills are very important. Some online training information of the databases is very useful and informative. For example, here is a link for the video of searching tips from the training sessions in Web of Science.

•   Take advantage of the use of logical operators: AND, OR, NOT, ( ), “ ”, SAME and characters *, $, ?.

•   It is effective to look up an important paper to get a feel of the latest development. Usefully,  such paper has  a  lot  of citations  (Of course,  this does not  apply to important papers that are just published. It takes a while for the first citation to appear.). Reading the cited references will give you the most recent relevant papers about the technique first developed by the original paper.

•   Consult relevant staff for the latest good review papers in the field.

•   Wikipedia is a free online dictionary that is extremely useful for getting an overview of a technique. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page(but should never be used as one of your sources)

•   Google Scholar is a useful publicly available free database.

http://scholar.google.co.uk/

After finding the references, you will need to get a copy of the full paper. Check whether a journal is available in the library in electronic format (Type in the journal name using title search). If the journal is not available in electronic format, try to search for the journal using the library catalogue. The library might have the order issues in book format. If you are not sure, do not be afraid to ask the Librarian for help. You can also sign up for library training by checking their schedule (link below).
