Discussion EMPIRICAL REVIEW

In literature review section, it is also essential to put some related studies of
your research topic. The sources may be accessed through journals, electronic or
printed databases, and websites. However, not all sources are reputable and
credible to be put in your research-based paper. There are some factors you should
consider in choosing the reputable journals:
a. Publisher. Check the reputation of the publisher of the journal. If they are an
established and reputable publishing house (e.g. Springer, Wiley, Elsevier,
and Nature Publishing Group, etc), you can feel more confident that the
journal is also reputable.
b. Peer review. Reputable journals use peer review in selecting manuscripts for
publication.
c. Editorial board. Most reputable journals have an international editorial board
(reviewers are from various established universities worldwide). Search for
the reviewers’ name online and find their journals as most of the editorial
board are established researchers in the field.
d. Indexing. To be discoverable, the journals should be indexed in familiar
online databases such as PubMed, Science Citation Index, Scopus, SINTA
(Indonesian National Indexing), etc.
e. Consistency. Reputable journals have consistent content published in
consistent intervals. Review the journals’ table of contents and ensure that
they are consistent in their publication.

A review of studies is a review of as many research studies as possible
around a particular research problem/question. This includes ONLY studies
that have been conducted. To keep updated, Choose the journals which
are published less than 10 years from the year you are writing your
research based paper.
