📚 Creating a Literature Review Outline with Research Rabbit

This paragraph introduces the process of using Research Rabbit to create an outline for a literature review. The speaker starts by creating a new collection specifically for the literature review to filter out unrelated articles. They emphasize the importance of narrowing down the focus to relevant papers and demonstrate how to add key papers to the collection. The speaker then uses the 'similar work' feature in Research Rabbit to find additional papers that are closely related to the topic of steroid IMS review. They discuss the process of selecting papers that are directly relevant and avoiding those that diverge from the main focus, such as those involving liquid chromatography or conjugates of steroids. The goal is to create a tight and focused collection of papers that will form the core of the literature review.

🔍 Refining the Literature Review with Connections and Themes

In this paragraph, the speaker discusses how to refine the literature review by exploring connections between papers and identifying major themes. They use the 'show connections' feature in Research Rabbit to visualize the relationships between different papers and to identify clusters of related work. The speaker then categorizes the papers into three main themes: metal adduction for separation of steroids, derivatization for separation of steroids, and application of IMS in steroid analysis. They also mention the importance of considering the timeline of the papers to understand the progression of the field. The speaker suggests creating an outline with these themes as the main headings and provides a link to a scientific research paper checklist for further guidance on writing research articles.

Keywords

💡Research Rabbit

Research Rabbit is a tool mentioned in the video that helps researchers discover and organize relevant literature. It plays a central role in helping the user create an outline for their literature review by recommending related academic papers based on the selected topic. The speaker demonstrates how Research Rabbit suggests similar work after selecting a few key papers.

💡Literature Review

A literature review is a comprehensive summary and analysis of the current knowledge on a specific topic. In the video, the speaker is outlining how to use Research Rabbit to create an organized and focused literature review on 'steroid ion mobility analysis.' The video emphasizes the importance of selecting relevant papers to form the backbone of a well-rounded review.

💡Collection

A 'collection' in this context refers to a curated set of research papers that the user gathers for their literature review. In the video, the speaker creates a new collection titled 'Steroid IMS review' to narrow down articles specifically related to their research topic. The collection serves to filter out irrelevant articles and keeps the focus on the core material.

💡Steroid Ion Mobility Analysis (IMS)

Steroid ion mobility analysis (IMS) is a scientific technique for separating and identifying steroid molecules based on their movement through a gas phase. In the video, the speaker is conducting a literature review on this specific method, focusing on how it has been used in recent studies. They discuss the evolution of the field and aim to update a previous review they published in 2019.

💡Liquid Chromatography

Liquid chromatography is another analytical technique that separates compounds based on their movement through a liquid. While related to IMS, the speaker decides to exclude papers that involve liquid chromatography from their review because they want to focus solely on ion mobility techniques. This exclusion helps narrow the scope of their review.

💡Collision Cross Sections

Collision cross sections refer to measurements that provide insight into the size and shape of molecules as they travel through a gas, which is a key concept in ion mobility analysis. The speaker mentions that while collision cross sections can be useful background information, they are not the focus of the literature review they are constructing, which is more centered on steroid-specific analysis.

💡Conjugates

Conjugates are compounds formed by the combination of two different molecules, often used to enhance the detection or separation of substances in analysis. In the video, the speaker chooses to exclude papers dealing with steroid conjugates, as their review aims to focus on the direct use of steroids with ion mobility analysis, keeping the scope more specific.

💡Derivatization

Derivatization is a chemical process used to modify a compound, making it more easily detectable or separable in analysis. The speaker identifies this as one of the three major themes for their literature review. Derivatization methods play a significant role in separating steroids using ion mobility, making it a core focus of the review.

💡Metal Adduction

Metal adduction refers to the process of adding metal ions to a molecule to improve its separation and detection in ion mobility analysis. This is one of the three major themes identified by the speaker for their literature review. Papers focusing on metal adduction methods are highlighted as important for understanding advancements in the field of steroid analysis.

💡Clinical Analysis

Clinical analysis refers to the use of scientific methods, like ion mobility analysis, for diagnosing and monitoring diseases. In the video, the speaker points out that some of the literature they include discusses the clinical applications of steroid analysis, which they identify as another important theme in their literature review.

Transcripts

in this video I'm going to walk you

through how to use research rabbit to

start forming an outline for your

literature review

so in this case what I'm going to do is

under my tutorial section here I'm going

to actually create a whole new

collection for my literature review and

this allows me to decrease the amount of

peripheral articles that I'm getting so

things that aren't really related to

what I would create as my literature

review story and if you're struggling

with how to you know create your

literature review at all I'll leave a

video linked above just to get you

started on what kind of the words I'm

using here

so in this I'm going to add in a new

collection and I'm going to call it

steroid IMS review

and I actually did write a review on

steroid and IMS that came out in like

2019 so like there's a lot that's been

going on the field after that so this is

kind of looking at like what I would do

if I was writing an updated review on

that so I can click in here and the

first thing I'm going to do is add in

papers and so if you're working in a

field this is one of the reasons I

recommend not trying to write a

literature review as like a first year

grad student when you're just learning

your field you probably know a few of

the papers that are really key to this

area and what you want to do is now

expand out and once you've determined

your topic what are the main papers that

you'd want to cover within that topic so

what I'm going to do is start by adding

in papers and I want to add in very

select papers that are really really

going to be the meat of what I think my

literature review is going to be and

then I'm going to let research rabbit do

the work to find the other papers I need

to be pulling into this literature

review

so while these are a little bit older

papers I'm going to do steroid ion

Mobility analysis so I'm going to click

search and I'm searching in all subject

areas so what I'm specifically going to

be looking for are things that just used

steroids with ion Mobility so I'm going

to add in this one this is one of my own

papers I want to add that into the

collection this is another one of my

papers but I used liquid chromatography

in this and I want this literature

review to focus on just I immobility

kind of moving forward

so again I'm looking for those that

don't have the liquid chromatography

aspect so this paper is one that I

reported on before and I really want to

do a more recent so I'm kind of looking

for some of the ones that I did in my

other literature review so this is

another one

and again I'm keeping this really really

tight I'm not adding in all the things

that I've shown in other research rabbit

tutorials primarily because I want this

to specifically only be looking at a

smaller set of papers so this is another

one that's a little bit

newer and then this one is starting to

get into conjugates of steroids so I'm

not going to include that one so that's

going to be all the papers that I

include for now and I'm going to click

exit out so now what I want to do is

start understanding what are the other

papers I really should be including in a

review and so what I'm going to do is

I'm going to explore more papers and I'm

going to click similar work here

and so what this does is it gives me

this kind of tree here or this network

graph what I'm now looking at is I want

to start clicking on some things and

start determining what is going on in

these different groupings around here so

if I click around here this doesn't

include steroids it's just looking at

the evaluation of collision cross

sections

this is another Collision cross section

so it looks like this down here is

probably not where I want to be that's

mainly just talking about Collision

cross sections now that could be really

good as a background section of my

literature review but I'm just looking

for my literature review story right now

so I'm going to come over here okay so

now we have this is with liquid

chromatography here

so this is looking at cation adducts in

fame's IMS this is one thing that I want

to add in so I'm going to go ahead and

add that in so I'm looking for things

that are super specific to being steroid

and IMS this is getting more Broad in

the types of molecules it's setting out

come up here this one is specific that

was in my previous review as well

this one is specific as well

so this one adds back in the LC I don't

want that one

that's a conjugate

more conjugates so you can see the

conjugates kind of linked together

so this is metabolite so now I want to

come back up here there's this kind of

tree off here

so that's a review are all of these

reviews nope

so this looks like more steroid related

yeah this is all steroid kind of

background I'm not seeing a ton of

actual

specific work this should get added in

that's all that is really specific to

what I want my review to cover so I'm

going to come back so I'm going to exit

out of the similar work and come back to

here

so I'm going to click connection show

here so this is going to kind of show me

the connections between these

and I kind of want to look at this is

derivatization methods what I'm trying

to do here is now see what are the

different themes that are going on here

so this is also a derivatization methods

paper

this is a metal adduction so I'm kind of

looking at these different names and I

can also look at them from here as well

so basically what it looks like if I'm

just looking at the titles here you can

see this cluster up here is a lot of

just metal adduction papers so we see

like sodiated appearing a lot Metals all

of that up there so this one is Ozone

induced so it is some form of reaction

or derivatization that's occurring there

this is a cation addict again so like

this one I would pull up over here and

so I can kind of move these around to

determine what really makes the most

sense here right so basically after

reading all of these titles I can see

that I really have kind of three major

themes going on here the first thing is

using metal adduction to separate things

through eye Mobility the second theme is

using derivatization or some type of

reaction the third theme is how are

these things getting into clinical

analysis so there was one in here if I

look that talked about

um clinical analysis as well

yeah so towards a routine analysis so

any of the ones that are having a

routine analysis clinical analysis

basically this has allowed me to pull in

a bunch of papers that I might not even

even known existed using a research

rabbits connections that it's doing

through similar work and then from this

what I want to do is I want to actually

look at this in a timeline because now

I'm thinking okay I have three main

themes I want to talk about how in what

ways am I talking about those so we can

see that the first one here is just kind

of a General application one this one

might even go into my background

information and then we see that we have

a derivatization once here and then it

seems like the field really goes to

metal ion adoption more so

and then as we get later on we come back

into the derivatization so what I would

likely probably do now is I would create

three categories so I'm going to write

out so I'm just going to open up a Word

document and do kind of review

outline

and so I'm gonna first thing I would

talk about is going to be metal

abduction

for separation of steroids

the second thing is I would do

derivatization of separation of steroids

and then I would do application of IMS

in steroid analysis

and so those are overall you know three

my main three topics and my main

headings in my paper are going to be

these three main headings

so from using this I can now download

this out and I'll leave a link above for

how to download this and put it into a

notion template and then I can start

structuring out my review using these

papers if you are also working on

writing your own research articles go

ahead and download my scientific

research paper checklist it'll be

available in a link in the description

below it's basically a checklist that

walks you through step by step how to

write your research article I really

hope this was helpful and I look forward

to seeing you in the next video
