One thing we have been doing in our most recent papers is including a table in the Introduction, summarizing the main features of previous related papers and how the new paper compares with them. In my view, this can help the reviewers/readers a lot in understanding the novelty and research contribution of the manuscript with respect to the existing literature. What do you think? References of the papers corresponding to the tables in the attached figure, from top to bottom and left to right: https://lnkd.in/d5s8usih https://lnkd.in/dSarJ4Xs https://lnkd.in/dywiP7B6 https://lnkd.in/dVNr5q8e https://lnkd.in/dSw82ee8 https://lnkd.in/dsbrsApz
What would you recommend to a future self if you could start over in another field?
That's a great idea! We usually include this table at the end of our papers, typically just before the conclusion. However, I'm now considering that the introduction might be a better placement for it.
Very useful and informative
Alejandro Gómez Yepes Dear professor, it is handy and easy to follow. Thanks for sharing
It resembles a good and smart approach that will also help in the peerreview processes, since it (somehow) forces the reviewers to dig into specific points. Nowadays (in power electronics) there are tons of prior art and it is "very easy" for a "lazy" reviewer to disqualify a submission, because of unclear novelty/contribution (without even mentioning the specific prior art presumably overlooked). However, if you show and reinforce upfront this part, the reviewer is also forced to dig into the work (if really intended to do the task properly). I think this approach is specially useful and timesavingl when your intended contribution is really original.
great ! I used this technique in some tutorial-review papers, it was more for a comparison over the range, but your idea of highlighting your novel ideas in the paper that you have written compared to those is very nice....
I will adopt this strategy, well presented. Thank you so much for sharing 🙏.
Excellent representation!
Thanks alot
