This presentation gives an idea to prepare the survey paper regarding to any discipline of the research !!!

2.  Re / Search
 Research is never ending process ….
 Ready to face the problems
 An easiest way to solve the problem is to solve it….

3.  Regular research papers are a description of our own research
 Decide the research area and make the survey
 A survey paper is a service to the scientific community
 Survey provides the scientific information, Instead of reading
100 + research papers [1 Survey Paper = 100 Research Papers ]

4. When picking papers to survey or read - try to
S. No
Description
1
Pick a recent survey of the field
2
Pick a paper that you can easier understand
3
Pick papers that are related to each other
4
Favour papers from well-known Journals and
Conferences

5. S.No
Description
5
Favour “first” or “foundational” papers in the field
6
Favour more recent papers ( previous 5 - 10 years)
7
Once we have identified an interesting technology, We
have to follow developments in that particular
technology (Updates)

6. A WELL DEFINED PROBLEM IS
HALF SOLVED....

7. Gives a structure to our survey,
1. Abstract
6. Research Challenges
2. Introduction
7. Classifications
3. Related Works / Background
8. Evaluative Results
4. Terminology
9. Conclusion
5. Comparative Analysis
10. References

8.  A clear description of the field.
 What is the current status?
 What you are going to do?

9.  Short History about our field
 Author(s) Name, Year
 Invention of an algorithm
 The Evolution of technology

10.  Which are the conferences, workshops, journals, special
editions which are carrying the papers related to the topic?
 Categorize the list of papers what you have collected for the
survey
 Better they should be interrelated
 It may be categorized by year, development or some features

11.  Introduce the terminology of the field
 Describe what are the various terms mean
 What is very important is to map the terminological variations
 Some researchers invent specific new terms

12.  Identify the major types of techniques in the field and When are
they being created?
 How are they related to each other – technique-wise and
system-wise?
 Distinguish the main differences between the different
techniques?
 Compare the performance of the different types of techniques?

13.  The description of the various research challenges of the field
 This is the hardest to write, because it is the part which is creative
 We need to provide an integral view on the research activity of the
field
 We need to rewrite the descriptions in our own words.

14.  Classification, slicing and dicing, taxonomy
 When classify the generic field to specific field we will get a
new idea
 Sometimes it helps do introduce a new taxonomy that is
classification scheme in the field

15.  What will be the evaluation criteria that you will be using for
comparing the different technologies?
 Decide what are you going to tell about each paper
 In which way are they better?
higher performance? higher robustness?
lower computational complexity?

16.  It should be very clear
 It should describes, from the survey what we have learned
 Also describes about our proposed & future work

17.  Our Research paper should be without
PLAGIARISM

18.  Remember to cite the full information about the paper, including
author names, paper title, publication details and page numbers,
etc,
