Discussion—The Literature Review Process
Discussion—The Literature Review Process
As the community assessment is completed and the statement of the health problem is clearly stated and appropriately quantified using the available epidemiologic tools, one must now start looking at an adequate and suited intervention or policy to address the particular public health problem. The availability of scientific literature is an invaluable source of information to begin searching for the most ideal and best-suited intervention, program, or policy to specifically address the targeted objectives emanating from the community assessment.
Because of the considerable amount of scientific literature, a systematic approach to literature searching is imperative to locate credible, high-quality evidence as efficiently and exhaustively as possible. To be systematic, a guide must be applied to aid in what literature is important, where to search for related literature, how to find evidence-based literature, and how to organize the results of a search.
In your analysis and evaluation of the three related peer-reviewed scientific articles for Week 3 Project, please share with your peers any difficulties, strategies, or techniques that you developed, discovered, or utilized to simplify or enhance the literature review process.
The steps for reviewing the Scientific Literature and Organizing Information are listed below. Please note that you do not need to follow the same order.
- Review the issue statement and purpose of the search
- Select a bibliographic database
- Identify key words
- Conduct the search
- Refine the search
- Select and organize documents for review
- Abstract pertinent information from each document
- Summarize and apply the literature review
If you found that some sections of the literature review process were more difficult compared to some other steps, please talk about this difficulty in this discussion thread.
