It then discusses what a literature review is and its purpose of analyzing existing research. The main steps covered are establishing a research focus, identifying relevant search tools and terms, searching databases using operators and wildcards, organizing findings, determining relevant literature, and analyzing and summarizing the evidence into a report. Examples and exercises are provided to illustrate each step in the literature review process.
What is scientific research writing?
Answer: It is the technical writing that scientists do to communicate their research to others [1].
What is a research manuscript?
Answer: A systematic inquiry document that entails collection of data; documentation of critical information; and analysis and interpretation of that data/information, in accordance with suitable methodologies set by specific professional fields and academic disciplines [2].
What is a review article?
Answer: A literature review article is a comprehensive summary of previous research on a topic. It is assumed that by mentioning a previous work in the field of study, that the author has read, evaluated, and assimiliated that work into the work at hand [3].
What is peer review paper?
The peer review paper is a validation of academic work, helps to improve the quality of published research, and increases networking possibilities within research communities [4].
What is meta-analysis?
Answer: A subset of systematic reviews; a method for systematically combining pertinent qualitative and quantitative study data from several selected studies to develop a single conclusion that has greater statistical power [5].
What dissertation?
Answer: A thesis is a hypothesis or conjecture. A PhD dissertation is a lengthy, formal document that argues in defense of a particular thesis. Two important adjectives used to describe a dissertation are ``original'' and ``substantial.'' The scientific method means starting with a hypothesis and then collecting evidence to support or deny it [6].
What are journals?
Answer: A research journal is a periodical that contains articles written by experts in a particular field of study who report the results of research in that field [7].
What does publisher mean?
Answer: Authors and publishers will generally have a publishing agreement (sometimes referred to as an author or licence agreement) in place when a work is published [8].
What is ISSN number?
Answer: An ISSN is an 8-digit code used to identify newspapers, journals, magazines and periodicals of all kinds and on all media–print and electronic [9].
What is volume of a journal?
Literature reviewing, some available technology tools to make your literature reviewing better.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

² Collecting, organizing & evaluating data
² Making deductions & reaching conclusions
² Carefully testing the conclusions to establish
whether they fit to the hypothesis.
5. Objectives of Research
› The purpose of research is to discover:
v Answers to questions through the application of
scientific procedures
² New knowledge (novelty)
6. Objectives of Research
› The broad grouping of research objectives entail:
1. To gain familiarity with a phenomenon/to achieve
new insights = explorative/formulative research
2. To portray accurately the characteristics of a
subject of study = descriptive research
3. To determine the frequency of occurrence of
subject of study = diagnostic research
4. To test a hypothesis of a causal relationship
between variables = hypothesis-testing research
7. What is a Literature Review?
› A Literature Review is a way to:
Compare studies and know “what’s out there” on a specific
topic
Analytically examine existing body of research
Identify an article that documents a particular fact
Bring order to an abundance of information spread across
too many places
8. Steps in a Literature Review
1. Establish research focus
2. Identify where to search
3. Select appropriate search terms
4. Use ‘operators’ and ‘wildcards’
5. Organize research history
6. Determine relevant literature
7. Analyze, Synthesize and Summarize
evidence into a report
9. Step 1: Establish Research Focus
What do you need or want to know?
How will this data help your project?
IMPORTANT ….
• Keep your topic specific and focused
• Be prepared to revise it along the way based on
what you discover in the literature
10. Exercise 1
Consider the research topics below and answer the following
questions for each topic:
1. Would you revise this topic?
2. Why or why not? If yes, how?
Research Topics
› Technology and the youth
› Homeless youth
› Emotional distress and mental health service use among adolescents.
11. Step 2a: Identify Where to Search
› Academic Literature
› Books, scholarly journal articles
› Dissertations
› Government documents
› Policy reports
› Grey Literature
› Papers published by professional societies
› Internet search engines: Google.ca or Yahoo.ca
› Online databases: PsychInfo, Social Service Abstracts,
Medline, ERIC, etc.
12. Step 2b: Identify Relevant Search Engines
› Why?
› To save time and stay focused.
›
› Sample sources?:
13. Step 2c: Secure Database Access
Certain publications are not readily accessible to the public
To secure access to databases you need:
1. To establish a partnership with a university that has access
to the database
OR
2. Pay a database search fee
14. Step 3: Select Appropriate Search Terms
A search term is a term used to find information on your topic
Search terms can include:
• Key words
Example: For a literature review on
“ Impact of technology on society”
possible key words may include: technology effects,
society, media effects, …… others???
• Author
• Title
• Journal or publication
• Other descriptors
15. Where to Find Key Words
› Reference Books
›
› Abstracts
› Scientific journals
› Government reports
› Electronic databases
16. Focusing Your Key Words
› Be specific .… expect numerous results!
› Example:
› Technology effects (999,000 items)
› Media reports (898,000 items)
17. Exercise 2: Key Words
› You have been asked to design a technology assessment
program. Your search question is:
› “What are the determinants and consequences
of technology adoption by the youth?
› What Search Engines and / or databases would you use?
› Working individually, list 10 key words to search
information on the “determinants and consequences”
for youth who are addicted to technology.
› Share your answers.
18. Step 4: Using ‘Operators’ & ‘Wildcards’
› ‘Wildcards’ are symbols that expand the scope of your
search
› e.g. (*) patent* -- retrieves patent, patents, patentable,
patented
› ‘Operators’ define the relationships between words or
groups of words
› Note:
› Operators and wildcards vary by search engine to check each database’s Help
section
19. Examples of ‘Operators’
› Sample operators:
› Use AND to narrow search and retrieve records
containing all of the words it separates.
› Use OR to broaden search and retrieve records
containing any of the words it separates.
› Use NOT to narrow search and retrieve records that do
not contain the term following it.
› Use ( ) to select a phrase or groups of words
- Phrase - (participatory action research)
- Groups of words – (determinants and consequences) AND
(technology or youth)
20. Exercise 3: Operators & Wildcards
› Generate a total of 6 operators and 2
wildcards using the search terms you came
up with for the topic of “technology and
youth development”
21. Step 5: Organizing Your Research
Document your search process:
• Keep record of all materials examined
• Keep a record of all Web searches
• Set a bookmark of the Universal Resource Locator(URL)
for commonly used web sites
• Record key words used for electronic searches
• Print home pages of the web sites
• Photocopy journal articles, book chapters and other
materials
• Organize information using a “Review Matrix”
22. Example of a Review Matrix
Author, Title,
Journal
Year of
Publication
Purpose Type of Study
Design
Journal article 2004 Technology
and society
Experimental
study
Journal article 2006 Long-term
effect of
technology to
the youth
Cross-sectional
survey
What other categories could be included in a Review
Matrix?
23. Step 6: Determine Relevant Literature
› To determine what is relevant literature:
› Check article abstracts for summaries of research design and
findings instead of reading entire article
› Consider type of measurement and analysis
› Consider contribution of the article/research to the field
› Does it help you know what to do or what not to do in your
study?
24. Exercise 4: Review of Abstract
› Using the sample abstract entitled, “Technology
adoption …..”.
Review the abstract and answer the questions below:
› 1. What were the issues discussed by the
researchers?
› 2. What methods did they use?
› 3. What were the results?
› 4. Are there any missing or inadequate topics?
25. Step 7: Analyze, Synthesize & Summarize Evidence
into a Report
› Briefly summarize findings
› Synthesize literature by identifying common themes
› Differentiate b/w what is “known” and “not known”
› Identify topics of debate
