Rely on feedback - Seek feedback from colleagues and peers, and get more perspectives from senior colleagues before submitting your literature review for publication. Be objective - Avoid sounding as though you are overly critical or in favor of previous research; objectively present the strengths and weaknesses of previous studies. Include older studies - It is not necessary to only include the latest studies in your review; include older papers that made a high impact or that discussed the topic you are interested in.
