Literature reviews are valuable resources for the scientific community. With research accelerating at an unprecedented speed in recent years and more and more original papers being published, review articles have become increasingly important as a means to keep up to date with developments in a particular area of research. A good review article provides readers with an in-depth understanding of a field and highlights key gaps and challenges to address with future research. Writing a review article also helps to expand the writer's knowledge of their specialist area and to develop their analytical and communication skills, amongst other benefits. Thus, the importance of building review-writing into a scientific career cannot be overstated. In this instalment of The FEBS Journal's Words of Advice series, I provide detailed guidance on planning and writing an informative and engaging literature review.
文献综述是科学界的宝贵资源。近年来,研究以空前的速度加速发展,发表的原始论文越来越多,因此,综述文章作为了解特定研究领域发展的一种手段变得越来越重要。一篇好的综述文章能让读者深入了解一个领域,并突出未来研究中需要解决的关键空白和挑战。撰写综述文章还有助于拓展作者在专业领域的知识,并提高分析和沟通技能等其他方面的能力。因此,将撰写综述纳入科研生涯的重要性怎么强调都不为过。在本期 FEBS 期刊的《建议》系列中,我详细介绍了规划和撰写内容丰富、引人入胜的文献综述的方法。
