strategies. Use a paper management system. Define those information that are not

review. You must think very well because in picking mini review, it’s an attraction for those

As much as possible in writing a review, you should not use your published literature because it may
lead to a conflict interest because there are possibilities that there will be a bias. A writer must be
objective but how can they do that if they are reviewing their own work? They may encounter some
risk and doubt to write something bad or good about their published works.

Be Up-to-Date, but Do Not Forget Older Studies

Don’t forget to update your reviews to have new info and give awareness for the new happenings
about latest studies, this will make your review not out-of-date. In making update you should not
forget the past or previous review because it’s also help for you to look if the studies had change or
not.
