SURVEY PAPER PREPARATION

GUIDELINES

Re / Search

Research is never ending process ….

Ready to face the problems

An easiest way to solve the problem is to solve it….

GUIDELINES

Regular research papers are a description of our own

research

Decide the research area and make the survey

A survey paper is a service to the scientific community

Survey provides the scientific information, Instead of

reading

100 + research papers [1 Survey Paper = 100 Research

Papers ]

GUIDELINESWhen picking papers to survey or read - try to

S. No

Description

1 Pick a recent survey of the field

2 Pick a paper that you can easier understand

3 Pick papers that are related to each other

4 Favour papers from well-known Journals and Conferences

GUIDELINES

S.No Description

5 Favour “first” or “foundational” papers in the field

6 Favour more recent papers ( previous 5 - 10 years)

7 Once we have identified an interesting technology, We have to follow developments in that particular technology (Updates)

PROBLEM SELECTION

A WELL DEFINED PROBLEM IS

HALF SOLVED....

GUIDELINES

1. Abstract

2. Introduction

3. Related Works / Background

4. Terminology

5. Comparative Analysis

6. Research Challenges

7. Classifications

8. Evaluative Results

9. Conclusion

10. References

Gives a structure to our survey,

1. ABSTRACT

A clear description of the field.

What is the current status?

What you are going to do?

2. INTRODUCTION

Short History about our field

Author(s) Name, Year

Invention of an algorithm

The Evolution of technology

3. RELATED WORK / BACKGROUND

Which are the conferences, workshops, journals, special

editions which are carrying the papers related to the topic?

Categorize the list of papers what you have collected for the

survey

Better they should be interrelated

It may be categorized by year, development or some

features

4. TERMINOLOGY

Introduce the terminology of the field

Describe what are the various terms mean

What is very important is to map the terminological

variations

Some researchers invent specific new terms

5. COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS Identify the major types of techniques in the field and When

are they being created?

How are they related to each other – technique-wise and

system-wise?

Distinguish the main differences between the different

techniques?

Compare the performance of the different types of techniques?

6. RESEARCH CHALLENGES

The description of the various research challenges of the field

This is the hardest to write, because it is the part which is

creative

We need to provide an integral view on the research activity of

the

field

We need to rewrite the descriptions in our own words.

7. CLASSIFICATION

Classification, slicing and dicing, taxonomy

When classify the generic field to specific field we will get a

new idea

Sometimes it helps do introduce a new taxonomy that is

classification scheme in the field

8. EVALUATIVE RESULTS

What will be the evaluation criteria that you will be using for

comparing the different technologies?

Decide what are you going to tell about each paper

In which way are they better?

higher performance? higher robustness?

lower computational complexity?

9. CONCLUSION

It should be very clear

It should describes, from the survey what we have

learned

Also describes about our proposed & future work

PLAGIARISM

Our Research paper should be without

PLAGIARISM

10. REFERENCES Remember to cite the full information about the paper,

including author names, paper title, publication details and

page numbers, etc,

Within our paper where we will use this reference as a part of

our text, use “[1]” to refer to the above reference.
