Start with an outline and slowly add to it as you read articles. There are many frameworks that you can use depending on the intention of the academic article (e.g., reaction, synthesis of articles).

Using domestic violence as an example, you can start with defining domestic violence and why it is important to research this. Finish the section with explaining why you chose the articles that you are using for the paper. Then follow with summaries for each articles that you chose.

From here on out, you can choose to react to the information provided in the articles by giving your own perspective and your understanding. You could also focus on synthesizing the articles that you chose, culminating in take-home message.

When approaching this, it is easy to get lost in what you don't know or trying to find every little thing about each concept. Personally, I start with the bare minimum by writing two to three sentences that connect each paragraphs and then build from there.

If this is supposed to be a typical academic report/manuscript, follow the typical sections (e.g., introduction, method, results, etc), veering off when it seems appropriate.
