Your supervisor asks: “Where is your research gap?” 🕵️♂️ And you’re still looking for it!
A research gap doesn’t always mean finding a topic nobody has ever studied. Sometimes, the clues are already hidden in the scientific articles you’ve collected. 🔍
5 clues to help you identify a research gap:
🔍 Limitations: What couldn’t previous studies investigate?
🔍 Future Research: What did researchers recommend exploring next?
🔍 Conflicting Results: Where do studies disagree?
🔍 New Context: Can you investigate the same topic in a different population or setting?
🔍 New Method: Can another research method or measurement tool provide new insights?
✅ Plus, discover a ready-to-use sentence to help you formulate your research gap in your introduction.
📌 Save this post for your mémoire or thesis, and send it to your research partner who’s been looking for a research gap since September! 😅
