Literature Review
Conduct a thorough review of existing literature in your
field of interest. Identify key themes, theories,
methodologies, and findings. Pay close attention to areas
where conflicting results, unanswered questions, or
limitations in current studies are apparent.
Literature Review
Look for emerging trends, debates, or inconsistencies
within the literature. Trends may indicate areas where
new research is needed to address evolving issues or
phenomena.
Identify Trends and Patterns:
Literature Review
Assess the strengths and weaknesses of existing studies.
Consider factors such as sample size, research
methodologies, data analysis techniques, and theoretical
frameworks. Identify areas where methodological
improvements or alternative approaches could yield
valuable insights.
Consult Experts:
Critically Evaluate Existing Research:
Seek input from colleagues, mentors, or experts in
your field. Discuss your research interests and
ideas with them to gain perspective on potential
gaps or areas of unexplored inquiry.
Literature Review
Reflect on the practical implications of existing
research. Are there gaps between theoretical
knowledge and real-world application?
Identifying practical challenges or unresolved
issues can lead to research questions that have
practical significance.
Look beyond your immediate field of study and explore
interdisciplinary connections. Often, innovative
research emerges at the intersection of multiple
disciplines. Identify areas where insights from other
fields could enrich or expand existing knowledge.
Explore Interdisciplinary Connections:
Consider Practical Applications:
Literature Review
Consider whether certain populations, geographic regions,
or contexts have been underrepresented or overlooked in
existing research. Investigating these understudied areas
can uncover new insights and contribute to a more
comprehensive understanding of the topic.
Identify Understudied Populations or
Contexts:
Systematically compare existing research against a
conceptual framework or theoretical model. Identify
areas where empirical evidence is lacking or where
theoretical concepts require further empirical
validation.
Gap Analysis:
Literature Review
Advances in technology or methodologies may open up new
avenues for research. Stay abreast of developments in your
field and consider how emerging technologies or
methodologies could be applied to address existing gaps or
research questions.
Reflect on Personal and Societal
Relevance:
Consider Emerging Technologies or
Methodologies:
Consider your own interests, values, and motivations as well
as broader societal needs and challenges. Reflecting on the
relevance and significance of potential research topics can
help prioritize areas where your contributions could have the
greatest impact.
