2. Introduction
Identifying research gaps involves a comprehensive review of existing literature, critically analyzing
previous studies, and exploring areas where existing knowledge falls short.
Researchers must examine the limitations and shortcomings of existing research, identify unanswered
questions, and explore unexplored aspects within their chosen field.
This process requires critical thinking, a deep understanding of the subject matter, and familiarity with the
existing scholarly discourse.
