You need to make a literature review plan.
Plan should contain at least 5-7 references including at least two major reviews (and some experimental papers).
-Write notes on each of these references.
- Write a plan/outline for literature review.
ARTICLES AND REFERENCES SHOULD BE FROM : MEDLINE, PUBMED, SCOPUS, WEB OF SCIENCE
Task
1. List the key ideas to cover in the review
2. Organise these ideas around broader topics/subheadings
3. Consider the order in which to present these topics and ideas so there is a logical flow of ideas in your report
4. Write your plan.
a.The plan can be presented in the form in which it makes most sense to you-usually either as a list of subheadings with dot points of key ideas OR as a concept map
b. In constructing this you will likely find there are areas you need to find out morehence it may not be complete, however will guide you in your future reading-part of the purpose of doing this is to identify areas where you need to collect more information, or are perhaps less clear about the information you wish to use.
5. Your plan must :
a. Include as much detail as you have-the more detailed the plan the easier it is tofollow; the more feedback you will receive and the clearer your final literaturereview will be
b. Providean overall picture of your finished product.
TOPIC FOR LITERATURE REVIEW:
Plasmodium falciparum is the most pathogenic of the parasites that can cause the disease Malaria in humans. Due to the organism having a complex life cycle within its human host and multiple mechanisms ofevading the immune system, development of an effective vaccine has been slow. REVIEW the recent research into Malaria vaccine development and discuss the factors affecting progress.
Make sure that ITS IS NOT

IT SHOULD;
- identify an issue or problem within a topic
