The identification of a research gap is a crucial step in designing a meaningful and original PhD study. It involves analysing existing literature to uncover areas that lack sufficient exploration. At PhD Help , we assist scholars in identifying relevant, feasible, and academically valuable research gaps aligned with current trends
Why Research Gap Identification Matters
Many PhD students struggle with unclear direction, outdated ideas, or topic overlap. These issues often lead to proposal rejections and delays.
Identifying a solid research gap is the backbone of a successful thesis or dissertation. It defines your contribution, sharpens your objectives, and ensures academic value.
With expert help, this process becomes focused and efficient, saving time and improving your approval chances with supervisors and journals.
Our Research Gap Identification Services
01
Literature Review Mapping
We conduct a comprehensive review of recent peer-reviewed journals, theses, and scholarly databases to uncover underexplored areas within your field. This ensures your research builds on a strong academic foundation and addresses gaps that genuinely need exploration.
02
Trend & Innovation Analysis
We examine emerging themes, journal publications, and calls for papers to pinpoint timely and relevant research directions. This approach helps ensure your gap is not only valid but also aligned with the current research climate in your subject area.
03
Gap Validation & Justification
Our team cross-verifies potential gaps with academic literature, ensuring they’re neither too broad nor already saturated. We provide proper rationale and citations to strengthen the justification of the gap for inclusion in your proposal or thesis
04
Customised Reports
You receive a structured report outlining the identified gap, its relevance, supporting references, and suggested directions. This report is suitable for direct use in PhD proposals, synopses, or as a foundation for chapter development in your thesis.
