1. The first chapter of your Literature Review will tell the WHOLE STORY of your search, explain the keywords and the syntax of your search, report the different databases you have used, and their results (what and where you tried the searches, what you obtained and how you changed your research strategy to optimize your results). This will, probably, be the last chapter you will write.
  2. The second chapter will report the main information sources you have used and found. Once you have identified your first set of “interesting papers”, you will be able to define the LIST of JOURNALS and other CONTENT REPOSITORIES that are more close to your research topic and questions. The list of journals may be organized like a bibliometric database and its content reported per PUBLISHER, with some bibliometric information like the number of papers identified in each journal or even the whole time distribution of the documents.
  3. Researchers are social animals and you should be able to find the main meetings and other events during which a reasonably good number of researchers meet, in the world,  to discuss their work. The third chapter will report the international or national CONFERENCES, their past proceedings, their past and the future ones where you would (should) present your work.
  4. From the list of papers and conferences you will easily realize a LIST OF RESEARCHERS and INSTITUTIONS: some comments about their history will make the reading of this fourth chapter more exciting. The list may be even mapped in a world map.
  5. RESEARCHERS write in JOURNALS and go to CONFERENCES. They are part of INSTITUTIONS and get funds from them. Often they get funds starting  RESEARCH PROJECTS. If your subject is somehow related to a product or something similar, try to find PATENTS and a fifth chapter might enlist all them.
