How to write a literature review

How to write a literature review. It’s easier than you might think! In this video, I demonstrate how to search the literature and identify relevant papers for your literature review. I do a pubmed search using Boolean operators and MeSH terms (these are extremely powerful tools that will help you sift through the large number of academic papers out there). So if you’re doing a master’s thesis or a PhD, or you’re doing research and writing a paper, at some point, you’ll need to do a lit review. A big part of that review is the search and this video is going to help you get that right. You might be doing a systematic literature review or meta-analysis – again, you’ll need to do a good PubMed search that identifies the right studies.

Thanks to BMC !!!

this should be titled how to search for a literature review, not how to write one.

[kheatherthompson]

Thank you for this video. I'm currently curating my documents and this is helping me search based off of the keywords.

Nice and clear, I will show this to my students. They have been asking me to do feedback and commentary of examples of literature reviews so I have made some for them and now made them accessible on youtube

[jiahu]

Hi Sir, you only talked about how to search papers, what about selecting, extracting, writing???

[ampomahyaw]

I tried to use process showed here to search Patient Experience Journal but it did not have "Add to History" button. How do I go about it please?

[Nancy]

Great and an informative clip but he totaling focused on how to search research paper but not how to write the review....

[bpdsubcell]

It is the most valuable and educational video I have ever seen (and believe me I have seen a lot) on how to correctly search the research bibliography.

Thanks for this video as it has simplified the database search process! I've been improving my database search use but this video has done in 9:20 what two degrees completed while 1 degree is in process has not! Thanks again, I subscribed to your channel!

Dear Greg, Thanks for the video. That was quite helpful!
I have a question: A word when added to an existing search using AND gives me nearly 700 items as results . The same word when added as a mesh gives me ~ 200 items. Why is this different? Thanks once again, G
