The research process aims to address a gap in existing literature or inform an area lacking research. It involves conducting a literature review to identify gaps, developing a research approach to investigate the gap, carrying out the research, and reporting results, conclusions, and recommendations for future work. The goal of a research proposal is to justify the need for the proposed research by identifying a gap in literature, explaining why the research is valuable, and outlining the chosen research design.
