- In this video, based on my experience of making decisions on more than 1000 manuscripts submitted to my journal every year, and reviewing more than 100 PhD and Master's theses, I will share the 7 common mistakes often made in writing a literature review. These mistakes can lead to paper rejections and concerns raised by thesis examiners. I will also share 7 tips that will help you significantly improve your literature review! These are the tips that many top researchers use but they don’t share!

Thank you Professor for the informative video...its really useful for scholars like us during the stages of writing SLR.Keep posting
Thank you for your comment. Glad it was helpful!
Hello, I happened to find your channel. I am a new to research and I find this extremely helpful. Thank you so much! Btw, my research is about barriers faced by microbusiness. God bless you sir!
I'm happy that you found the content helpful! All the best with your research! Keep in touch!
Excelent video. Very useful advice.
Helpful. Thank you Prof.
Hi Shamsuddin! How are you doing? Long time no see! Where are you? :)
Dear Mr. Saeed,
I hope this comment finds you in good health. Thank you for your contributions in this field. I am reviewing your videos diligently to refine my current research, as I am still new to this field. I truly appreciate you sharing your valuable experience with us. I wish you continued success in your research endeavours.
I used your teachings a lot for my Meta-Analysis and reviews on Genetics, thank you so much for the fantastic content
Thank you for your comment. I'm happy that my systematic literature review videos were helpful. Hope you find other videos helpful too. Have you completed your meta analysis?
@@saeedsharif Yes it was a Masters degree on Science thesis about Mutagenesis in Health personel exposed to radiation, I still have to update in order to publish.
@hxl6162 Great! Do it ASAP then! And where are you from?
@@saeedsharif I'm from Brazil I'm in the center nearby Brasilia the Federal Capital. Since the beginning I followed your guidance now I'm on my PHD of genetics and I'm still doing my Systematic Reviews based on your explanations.
خداقوت استاد. فوقالعاده هستش نکات شما
I'm happy that you liked them! All the best! :)
May Allah bless you. I am a doctoral student in Urbanism and your videos on systematic reviews were very useful for me. Thank you very much
Thank you for your comment! Glad to hear that! All the best with your PhD! btw, what is your PhD topic about?
Thank you for your reply. My subject of study relates to urban sociology. More specifically my research is based on the interaction between public space, the aging of population and its well-being in urban environments.
Hello professor Saeed. This is an excellent video. I am doing literature review and would keep a check on these mistakes. This was so timely. Thank you
Thank you very much for your nice comment. Could you please tell me about yourself and your study?
Hello Prof. Saeed. I'm enrolled in PhD program and currently working on my thesis. The area I am working on is green finance. I have been overwhelmed with the immense amount of literature. I did not know about the thematic approach although while reading papers i used to feel some kind of synthesis based on common characteristics. I have watched your other videos too and they provided me clarity. Today I watched your video on writing background of study, and I felt I need to be more critical. @@saeedsharif
I belong to Pakistan and usually the Asian students face difficulty in being critical towards studies. I would request you if you make some more videos on this subject with examples. Also if possible can you do post-mortem (as an example) of an entire research paper highlighting aim, motivation, contribution, etc. How to align the storyline in Introduction is a challenging phase and with pieces of some examples, it would help to identify proper sections in a research paper. Many Thanks Prof.
Hi @@faiqashafqat8202,
Thank you for your comment and detailed explanation. Your topic is interesting, and I believe you will be able to publish some excellent papers based on the results of your work.
Also, thank you for the suggestion. I am currently developing a practical two-month training program for writing and publishing papers. The training includes several examples that I have provided, and I plan to feature some of them in the upcoming videos.
Thats really great. Sir, If you provide details of your training program, I too may consider joining it depending on my schedule@@saeedsharif
Nice one,but I think reporting individual Author's findings is a matter of writing styles rather than rules, provided it follows logical sequence. It may not be necessary that you group all the findings in one paragraph or in thematic forms as you pointed out
Thank you for the comment. What I explained were not rules! They are tips that can improve your work in the eyes of editors, reviewers, and examiners. Of course, you can summarize the studies in your literature review one by one. However, I consider that to be at a beginner level. You can take your work to another level by following the tips that I shared with you.
So helpful
Very interesting
Thank You
You're most welcome!
Thank you
great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks prof. for these intersting advices which araise a question, my question is "should LR include answers for why questions based on understanding of author i.e. due to low performance of method1 due to ..., another line proposed method2, or the answer should come from the researches under review to avoid Bais in reporting others works."
Even I know in research paper the author can critically answer such why question to justify his/her position.
Thanks in advance for your generous advices
Thank you for your question. It touches upon a fundamental aspect of research methodology and literature review, which is the philosophical stance a researcher adopts.
In quantitative studies, researchers often embrace a positivist standpoint, emphasizing objectivity and independence from the research subject. This perspective encourages the separation of the researcher from the research itself, with a focus on empirical data and statistical analysis. On the other hand, qualitative works more frequently adopt an interpretivist standpoint. Researchers here acknowledge their active role in shaping the research process and its outcomes. They recognize that their own perspectives and biases can influence the study. This paradigm shift is significant, as it allows for a more flexible and engaged role in the research process.
In qualitative research, the concept of "reflexivity" becomes important. Reflexivity means the researcher's self-awareness and acknowledgment of their influence on the research. It requires researchers to explain who they are, their perspectives, and how these factors may affect the research and the interpretation of data. This aspect is typically addressed in the methodology section of qualitative studies. It's an essential practice to maintain transparency and ensure that readers understand the researcher's standpoint and potential biases.
Shifting our focus to the literature review, you've raised an important challenge. A literature review involves critiquing and analyzing existing literature using other literature. It's a delicate task because it requires maintaining objectivity while providing your judgments and interpretations, "all of which should be well-supported by the literature you're reviewing". This balancing act necessitates presenting various authors' perspectives and offering your own insights and analysis, all while ensuring that your judgments are grounded in the literature itself. Do you want me to share a sample with you?
@@saeedsharifDear Prof., realy appricate you deep clarification based on scientific paradiam, which will help me so much to refer to your clarification for upcoming publications. Please share the sample you suggest for more understanding.
@@saeedsharif 🙏
The final mistake (#7) is the hardest to overcome.
Hi Anita,
I love your comments. I was just sharing with my friend here about your comments and the video summaries you usually provide.
