How to review the literature / article review!Feedback points

1. Be Critical1) Dont be descriptive, you need to be critical, how can we be critical is by analyzing the paper and transcribe on our own.2) You better use the same terminology as been used in article to review and subsequently improve your own technical language also and start framing your own sentences while reviewing.3) Dont narrate instead be clear and clyster while reviewing the article and keep the review flow.

2. Find and read references, citations and recent articles on the topic.1) Read the related articles, which are either cited or referred by the author or on your own to get more insights into the article and findings. And further to it by finding the recent articles contributing to same topic or domain.

3. Literature contributions1) Find the methodology of the article and references and narrate the gap addressed rationally.

4. Hypothesis1) Always understand the hypothesis framed by the author better, if not you will loose the objective.2) While reviewing rephrase the hypothesis be clear on that.

5. Method and methodology 1) Once you understand the hypothesis, you can sense the methods, which can be used either to evaluate or prove that.2) Once you do that make sure you understand the research method used by the author to make up your review. Understanding the method looks easy but make sure you understand it correctly.
