QxLab’s Alcardo (Alex) Barakabitze<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Alex finalised\u00a0two journal papers for publication\u00a0within one week before flying off to present a paper at Globecom – a great outcome by any standards. When you consider that the two papers are a combined 82 pages in length and published in high impact journals, it is an even more impressive feat.<\/p>\n

Alex is lead author on both journal papers:<\/p>\n

QoE Management of Multimedia Streaming Services in Future Networks: A Tutorial and Survey<\/a> (<\/em>IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials; h-index 147)<\/p>\n

and<\/p>\n

5G network slicing using SDN and NFV: A survey of taxonomy, architectures and future challenges<\/a> (<\/em>Elsevier Computer Networks; h-index 119).\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

A survey paper requires a different approach to a traditional research paper so we asked Alex to provide a list of writing tips based on his experience:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Define and identify the scope of the paper by listing the topics\/dimensions to be covered in the survey paper.<\/li>\n
  • Identify your motivation, exiting challenges and the problem statement to be addressed in the survey paper.<\/li>\n
  • Ensure that the selected topic is popular and is expected to grow over time.<\/li>\n
  • Make sure that your survey paper does not exist in the literature and it will fill a gap in emerging topic(s) of the research field.<\/li>\n
  • Ensure that papers are available in the literature with new approaches regarding the topics discussed in the survey paper.<\/li>\n
  • Before start writing a good comprehensive survey paper, organize a collection of papers (with existing algorithms\/methodologies\/approaches etc.): authors are advised to read at least 20 \u2013 30 good papers relevant to the topic.<\/li>\n
  • Provide a good classification of available approaches\/methodologies, clear and self-explanatory figures and tables in order give readers a good overview of the research topic.<\/li>\n
  • Ensure that the information flow in the survey paper is well connected: this will help the readers and increase the paper visibility.<\/li>\n
  • Provide a summary and lessons learned along with your own commentary for every section: this should discuss the contribution to the knowledge domain from your perspective.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
