Finding Novelty of Research with Systematic Literature Mapping (SLM)

Abstract

The most challenging process in research at any fields is finding the novelty of the research being conducted. There are many models (such as SLR (Systematic Literature Review), K-Chart, Card System, Decision Tree, Mind Mapping) have been proposed in order to coup with this obstacle. However, most of the tools or models fails to fulfil the need of some researcher to visually present the complex result of literature review. This research proposes SLM (Systematic Literature Mapping), a proposed model that is able to visually present the result of a complex literature review in the form of a decision tree. The model is a combination of SLR (Systematic Literature Review) that has been well-known by researcher, with K-Chart. To verify the new proposed model, a case study is presented in this paper. The objective of the case study is to find the novelty in overhaul scheduling in a sugar milling industry in Yogyakarta.
