– Has a topic,
– A beginning,
– Development of theme in a logical manner,

5CI/rev art/IAS/2008-11-08
6. Introduction: why?1
• Compared to original articles, review articles get
no respect..
• Though, many respected academicians write it
to:
– Assert their claims.
– Mark their territory.
• Have to be very well written to be able to hold
reader’s attention should be peer reviewed
for content & carefully edited, so can be easy to
read.
6CI/rev art/IAS/2008-11-08
7. Why
• Literatur kedokteran saat ini telah
berkembang pesat & berjumlah amat banyak
sehingga para praktisi & peneliti kewalahan
mengikuti perkembangan suatu bidang ilmu
kedokteran.2
• Merupakan jenis artikel yang paling banyak
dibaca agar tidak tertinggal dalam topik /
masalah tertentu info harus lengkap &
mutakhir!
7CI/rev art/IAS/2008-11-08
8. Siapa saja Penulis Review Article?5
• Invited Writers...
• An expert in the chosen field.
• Usually from the Academic rank.
• Should be a person with ability to be away
from the normal/routine working
environment, not subject to interruption
frome colleagues, telephoone calls, etc; more
likely with academic position rather than a
busy clinician.

9. Where to send?4
• Ke mana suatu Tinjauan Pustaka dikirim?
• TP merupakan gagasan & tinjauan dari hasil
karya temuan penelitian yang dimuat dalam
jurnal primer, maka tulisan yang ditujukan
bagi kalangan terpelajar namun bukan ahli
atau spesialis di bidang tulisan tsb, jurnal
sekunder.

CI/rev art/IAS/2008-11-08
10. Jurnal sekunder, apa saja?
• Abstracting Journal Berkala penyari: memuat
ringkasan atau abstrak jurnal primer.
• Review Journal Berkala tinjauan: memuat
pembahasan berbagai artikel ilmiah sejenis yang
mutakhir, untuk memberi gambaran kemajuan
menyeluruh suatu topik (state or the art)3
• Berkala ilmiah yang menerima berbagai jenis
artikel: artikel asli, pilot study, short
communications, laporan kasus, & TP, BMJ,
MJI, MKI d.l.l.
10CI/rev art/IAS/2008-11-08
11. Ciri-ciri TP: sesuaikan denga IA.3,4
• Panjang, 10-50 halaman cetak.
• Subyek lebih bersifat umum.
• Umumnya memakai banyak pustaka acuan.
• Penyajian bersifat padat & memuat istilah
teknis ilmiah dalam jumlah terbatas &
dilengkapi dengan penjelasan artinya.
• Uraian bersifat panjang-lebar, tidak telegrafik.
11CI/rev art/IAS/2008-11-08

mengevaluasi artikel2 yang terbit mengenai
subyek.
• Pengertian terbaru dalam bidang yang

clinical question (Siwek, 2002 from 1)

knowledge of statistical methods >> clinician
authors Needs collaboration with co-author
trained in statistical analysis.

19. “Planning a review article”.1
• Getting started:
– Begin with daily job what intrigued us most?
• What have I learned in my years of practice, that I
would like to share with m colleagues?
• 2 phases:
– Search PubMed, MDConsult, Google, favorite Web
searching site.
– Research phase learn more about topic, decide
whether to write on that topic..
19CI/rev art/IAS/2008-11-08
20. Mencari/Memilih topik:
• Atas permintaan Pemesan.
• Atas tawaran Penulis
– Apa yang sedang menarik perhatian ilmiah kita?
– Atau bila belum ada ‘wangsit’ search, browsing,
“mendem” di perpustakaan, diskusi dengan
sesama ilmiawan, selevel atau di atas kita.
– Tentukan ‘rencana’ judul tulisan kita! Mulai
mengumpulkan informasi buat catatan2
dengan key words, sumber & halamannya.
CI/rev art/IAS/2008-11-08 20
21. Title
• Represents the contents of the article
• Fewest possible words adequately describing
the content ( ± 12 kataan!), how?
– Omit unnessary words
• Preferably written in “positive” sentences
• A label rather than a complete sentence
• Avoid abbreviations & acronyms!
CI/rev art/IAS/2008-11-08 21
22. Abstrak
Amat berbeda dari artikel penelitian,
• tidak selalu ada, kecuali atas permintaan jurnal
tujuan Gaya terstruktur (250 kata) atau bebas
(150 kata)
– Obyektif: tujuan primer TP & penekanannya (apakah
Penyebab? Diagnosis? Atau prognosis?)
– Sumber data: ringkasan sumber, waktu pengambilan
& keterbatasan.
– Ekstraksi data: peraturan untuk abstraksi data,
penilaian kualitas & validitas data, & penerapannya.
22CI/rev art/IAS/2008-11-08
23. The review contents: logical order
1. What is the
problem?
2. Historical
background
3. Basic science
4. Methodology
5. Animal studies
6. Human studies
7. Discussion
8. Conclusions
9. Recommendations
10. The future
CI/rev art/IAS/2008-11-08 23
24. Kerangka TP: Abstrak
– Sintesis data: hasil utama dari tinjauan & metoda
yang digunakan dalam mendapatka hasil ybs.
– Simpulan: simpulan utama, termasuk
kemungkinan penerapan klinis (hindarkan
generalisasi berlebihan) & anjuran mengenai
penelitian tambahan bila perlu.
24CI/rev art/IAS/2008-11-08
25. Kerangka TP: Pendahuluan
Menjawab suatu / sejumlah pertanyaan, misalkan:
– “apa yang kita ketahui & tidak kita ketahui
mengenai ......... (suatu subyek)” atau:
– “ apa yang disebut ...........” atau
– “Bagaimana mengobati ......... Yang diakibatkan
oleh.........?”
Kalimat-kalimat pertama pada paragraf pertama
harus dibuat sejelas & semenarik mungkin.

26. The ideal review
Should be:
• Topical
• Up to date

Work of predecessors in the field.

is critical for the success & soundness of
study, also credibility of the paper.
• Need to have key references!!
• Reference should have right balance:
Comprehensive ∼ Relevant

28. Search: Index Medicus / Medline
List of printed indexes
• Index Medicus
• Excerpta Medica
• Biological Abstracts, Chemical Abstracts etc
• Science Citation Index
• Jounal’s cumulative indexes

immunology, pharmacology, biophysics, &
biochemistry
