Hey Krithi! Conducting systematic review process is definitely a difficult task, especially for the first-timers. This task includes several stages such as developing an apt research question, locating data sources, evaluating the studies, data collection, data analysis & interpretation, and drawing conclusions. 1. Start with a well-formulated research question. Remember, the research question must correspond to the objectives of your study. However, before formulating the questions, check it already exists. 2. Next you have to locate sources. You can use several sources such as scientific databases, conference proceedings, or may be electronic database. 3. Once you have collected the necessary sources, evaluate them. 4. Collect relevant data and pay attention to the tools or approaches that were used to collect the data. 5. Group the data according to their methodological similarities and then analyse them. 6. Interpret the results in a structured form 7. Lastly, compare your results with that of the previous ones.
