Literature Review FAQ
Q: If there were multiple experiments done, do we pick one of the experiments and write down the independent, dependent variable or do we write it for both experiments?
A: Both
Q: IS it necessary for a control group to be present?
A: There will always be a control group even if it is a comparative study. Control groups might not be explicitly stated. It can be implied. All experiments need to have a “norm” against which the results are validated. That “norm” is the control.
Q: In their study the authors make no mention of any future work that they will participate in. My article only states uncertainties and does not say what will be done in the future to future investigate. Thus would it OK if I had no highlights for the "Future Works" component?
A: Even if the authors did not write anything explicit about future works, you can interpret what might be a future work based on their study. Uncertainties are exactly the areas where future work will be done. So even if highlight specific "future work" statements are not available, you can highlight areas of uncertainties. And commenting on future works should still be part of the analysis because no experiment is ever conclusive. There will always be something to look at next.
