Finding Research Gaps by Reviewing the Literature

Students doing original research often review existing scholarly literature to find a “gap in the research” that they propose to fill.  This workshop will briefly discuss how to do a comprehensive review of the literature.  We will discuss how to determine researchable topics and how to broaden or narrow topics to fill a gap.
