• A literature review is part of the published work referencing related research, theory, and background information• A review of the literature (literature search)

may be conducted to…• understand a topic• help you form a research question• provide confirmation of an already existing

hypothesis• analyze and interpret your own data• gain exposure to past, current, and ongoing

research about a subject you are exploring for research of your own

REVIEWING LITERATURE

PEER REVIEW

A process for establishing authority of scholarly research

Experts in the field/discipline review the original ideas to certify the accuracy, validity, and value of the results

• Determine your research question1•Identify the key concepts2•List alternate keywords, synonyms, and related words3• Join terms and concepts with appropriate Boolean operators4•Make use of database’s limiters & suggested subject terms 5•Organize and cite your sources6

SEARCH PROCESS

One •What are some ways artificial intelligence is used to prevent or solve crimes?

Two •How is artificial intelligence used to solve or prevent crimes of spoofing, phishing, identity theft, malware, and in facial recognition and surveillance?

Three •In what ways is artificial intelligence developed to recognize faces for use in surveillance to prevent or solve crimes?

1. DETERMINE YOUR RESEARCH QUESTION

2. IDENTIFY THE KEY CONCEPTS

CONTROLLED VOCABULARY(ALSO CALLED “TAXONOMY” OR “HIERARCHY” OR “THESAURUS”)• A list of terms and term relationships designed to

o organize information about similar subjects

o assist content authors in consistently classifying/tagging content

o enable users to find the information they need by translating their language into the language of the information store.

EXERCISE 2: SEE PAPER HANDOUT

•Write down two key concepts for the topic:How are data mining methods developed and used for

detecting spam?

•Write down 1-3 alternate terms, synonyms, and related words for each concept• Go to IEEE Xplore and click on Command Search• Join terms together with parentheses () and Boolean operators (AND/OR)• Use database limiters to narrow and refine your results.

Write down additional alternate terms above as you browse the results
