Literature review is an academic paper made by sorting out, analyzing and refining a large number of documents of a certain discipline, specialty or subject, and it is a highly concentrated literature product. It depends on the scope of the content involved.
Review can be divided into comprehensive review and special review. The so-called comprehensive review is aimed at a subject or major, and the special review is aimed at a topic. Students' graduation thesis is mainly a special summary.
Specification overview
Mainstream literature, such as classic works of core journals in this field, research reports of full-time departments, opinions and expositions of important compounds, etc. , is a "compulsory course" for literature review. Most of the related reports or comments in the mass media, though somewhat valuable, can be simplified due to the limited time and energy. How to find out the mainstream in this field?
Suggestions are as follows: First, Chinese and foreign academic journals in libraries, after finding one or two "classic" articles, "follow the trail" and pay attention to academic articles with high quality references, and usually do not ignore the mainstream classic literature in this field. The second is to use "China Periodical Network", "Foreign Periodical Database Search" and the foreign periodical reading room of the school library.
You can find some early classical literature. Third, the national library. Some social science books published in the 1970s and 1980s or even earlier are often not collected by school libraries, but there are quite a few national maps (all books published in China must be submitted to the National Library). In addition, the national map also contains many foreign books about China's politics and government, which can be easily found on the Internet.
