recent conference papers)

Write about What has been done?
“I’m not working on something that’s already been done.”
“I am building on other’s work.”

Write about Similarities, e.g.:
“At least parts of my work fit into what we all accept as be correct.”
Approach Results

Title: Topic relevance
Publication: Helps evaluate quality (e.g. use h-score, impact
factor) Year
Relevance Coverage
