How to formulate RQs
1) How to Synthesize Research so that you can answer Trigger Questions for Lit.Review
In order to know what has not been known (i.e., knowledge gaps), we have to know what has been known (i.e., synthesis of current knowledge)
2) Operationalize the methodologies to address the knowledge gaps identified through answering Trigger Questions for Lit.Review

6 Types of Research Gaps in Literature Reviews
https://techstour.com/types-of-research-gaps-in-literature-reviews/
Research gaps refer to areas in the literature that remain underexplored or offer opportunities for further investigation. Identifying these gaps is crucial for advancing research and providing new insights. The following six categories highlight different types of research gaps commonly found in literature reviews:
1. Evidence Gap
An evidence gap arises when there is little to no research available to address a specific research question. This could indicate either a complete lack of studies or insufficient data that limits understanding of the issue.
2. Knowledge Gap/Practical-Knowledge Gap
A knowledge gap occurs when there is limited or incomplete information available on a topic. This often leads to unexpected findings in research. In contrast, a practical-knowledge gap exists when the results from academic research differ from what is observed in real-world professional practice.
3. Methodology Gap
A methodology gap signals the need for new research methods or an improvement of existing ones. Researchers may encounter this gap when the current approaches do not yield accurate or comprehensive results, highlighting the need for innovative techniques or tools.
4. Empirical Gap
An empirical gap points to areas where research findings require further verification through experimentation or observation. This type of gap can suggest that existing theories or models need additional validation.
5. Theoretical Gap
A theoretical gap occurs when certain theories have not been applied to a specific research problem. Filling this gap can provide new insights by extending or adapting existing theories to address new or unresolved questions.
6. Population Gap
A population gap is identified when certain groups or populations are underrepresented in existing research. For example, studies on a particular medical condition might focus primarily on one age group or geographic region, leaving other relevant demographics unexplored.
