Answer 1

Literature review paper are those papers which study the previous works and findings on a particular research topic and make a conclusion out of them for future work and improvements or anything that can be done in addition to what has been done. If you want to start writing literature review paper on security policies guidelines, the first step will be to study the previous works done security policies guidelines. Atleast 30 references should be made if you want to get your paper published in some good conferences and journals and if you are not intrested in getting it published then 12-15 are enough. So you will have to collect the required number of papers by searching on the internet. You can search on IEEEXplore or springer by entering your topic name. Make sure atleast 75% of your papers are from last 5 years. For the other 25% choose the base papers i.e those papers which were the initial papers on this topic and gave some strong results. Citing those papers will give a good value to your review paper.

Once the paper has been decided then go through each of the paper, make points about the research work done, the findings, the advantages and limitations of the proposed methods in each of the paper etc. After you have made your points go through it once again and analyzw what is missing in those works or a common limitation, anything that you think can be worked upon in future.

Once all this is done now its time to write the paper. Writing paper are much easy when using Latex, as you dont have to worry about formating and citations. It takes care of all these stuffs.
