Abstract

Extract Review papers are essential in a world where the expansion of information and scientific knowledge have become astronomical in most domains [1–3]. As secondary research publications, review papers exist to both summarise and synthesise previously published work in a field, and in the process offer appraisal and critique. Accordingly, a review paper is considered to be of good quality if it is analytical, critical, comprehensive, selective, relevant, synthetic and fully referenced. A well written review provides the framework for highlighting new perspectives, insights and deficiencies on which further research endeavour can be based [1–3].
