Course Paper<\/strong><\/p>\n

A systematic Literature review paper on analyzing and visualizing data<\/strong><\/p>\n

Guidelines<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00b7 There are two main goals to conduct this SLR paper in this course:<\/strong><\/p>\n

o Help you toward your PhD thesis. My experience advising many phd students in different universities is that one of the \u201ceasiest\u201d approaches to reach the \u201cdifficult\u201d task of finding your research subject in your phd is to start by conducting an SLR in your general subject. It can help you as an output of this work to know what are some of the hot topics or trending research subjects in your area of interest.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

o As a phd student or soon to be graduate, publications are key factors in evaluating your profile. A good SLR paper in this course can be publishable whether in a conference or a journal whether directly or through extending the work after the end of the course<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00b7 The overall grade for this course paper is 25 or 25% of the overall course grade.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00b7 The paper to be submitted no later than June 10th, a firm-deadline.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00b7 We will follow APA guidelines (Please read relevant material about that)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00b7 It is important to write in your own words. Paper will be evaluated using University integrity checking services.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00b7 Systematic Literature Review has a structured approach that you have to follow. You can find online many references on how to conduct SLR. Below is a table as an example describing SLR steps (<\/strong>https:\/\/lib.guides.umd.edu\/SR\/steps<\/a>). As an alternative to the 8 steps described below, minimum steps in SLR can be 5 (see <\/strong>https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC539417\/<\/a>). You will be graded based on following one of those two SLR templates in completing each step properly.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00b7 You may have issue reaching or accessing some papers. Use University library or any available resources, to the best of your abilities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00b7 You can always submit progress documents for me to discuss and evaluate (i.e. before your final submission throughout the semester).<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00b7 In terms of the subjects to pick from, I will create a discussion board for that in which students should not pick repeated subjects and so you can reserve your subject earlier through the discussion board.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00b7 Verify with me through an email before finalizing your paper subject<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00b7 Remember, instead of selecting a paper subject, you can start from framing a question to review or even from few selected keywords.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tools<\/strong><\/p>\n

Steps<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

PICO template<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

1. Identify \u00a0\u00a0your research question.<\/strong> Formulate \u00a0\u00a0a clear, well-defined research question of appropriate scope. Define your \u00a0\u00a0terminology. Find existing reviews on your topic to inform the development of \u00a0\u00a0your research question, identify gaps, and confirm that you are not \u00a0\u00a0duplicating the efforts of previous reviews. Consider using a framework \u00a0\u00a0like PICO<\/strong><\/a> or SPIDER<\/strong><\/a> to define you question scope. \u00a0\u00a0Use Database Search Log Excel spreadsheet<\/strong><\/a> to record search terms under each \u00a0\u00a0concept.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Optional:<\/strong> It \u00a0\u00a0is a good idea to register your protocol in a publicly accessible way. This \u00a0\u00a0will help avoid other people completing a review on your topic. \u00a0\u00a0Similarly, before you start doing a systematic review, it’s worth checking \u00a0\u00a0the different registries that nobody else has already registered a \u00a0\u00a0protocol on the same topic.<\/p>\n
