Conducting a Literature Review

Getting Your Review Published

Though it is not a requirement for FIRE, if you are interested in publishing your project please follow these suggestions:

  • Select three journals you are interested in publishing in.
    • One way to find journals is to do a search in PubMed on your topic and use the article type filter to filter by reviews, scroll through the results to see journals that publish review articles.
      • First, make sure the journal accepts literature reviews.
      • Then review the author guidelines for information on requirements of the review, (ie, number of databases that need to be searched, whether or not a protocol must be used, limits on references, word counts, formatting and style).
      • Lastly, read several review articles from the journal to use as a model for your review.
  • Remember to use the FIRE template found in webcourses for your proposal and FIRE conference submission.
  • For help finding journals see the Getting Published Guide, or your personal librarian or Terri Gotschall, terri.gotschall@ucf.edu.
