Hi, Doctor
I have a problem of review paper of topic with influence of SBM in educational function delegation on students’ outcome in primary school,
Please can you help me as possible you can.
The Best regards

Thank you Karen for this amazing video. I'm already in. My question is how to choose a narrow subject when you find a similair work already published ?
If there is already a review of a topic, you may need to seek a different topic or wait until there is new research warranting an updated review.
Thanks madam for your detailed explanation of the review paper writing process. Can you recommend any books on writing review, research articles, research proposal, thesis etc.
Here are three that I've read:
Professors as Writers by Robert Boice
The Craft of Scientific Writing by Michael Alley
The Chicago Guide to Communicating Science by Scott Montgomery
@@ScientificWritingwithKarenLMcK thank you so much Dr.Karen.
Dear Karen, you mentioned that a good review uses a logical structure, may I ask you what kind of structures are logical? Could you give us some examples?
All research papers should be structured in a sequence that leads the reader to a logical conclusion about a topic. That is, information is ordered in a way that will be clear and understandable to the reader. Topics might also be reviewed in order of importance or chronologically, if a historical review. The exact structure depends on the type of review paper and the topic. I gave several examples in the video of how to structure a review in a coherent way.
You have an interest in reviewing a particular topic. Later on, you realize that the topic has already been reviewed. How do you proceed in such a situation?
As I said in my video, do some research first to see if your topic has been reviewed recently. If so, you might focus on an aspect of the topic not thoroughly examined in detail.
@@ScientificWritingwithKarenLMcK Thank you very much for the response.
Thank you
