Point 1: “A research gap is a question or a problem that has not been answered by any of the existing studies or research within your field. Sometimes, a research gap exists when there is a concept or new idea that hasn't been studied at all”… any research gap you find is an area where more studies and more research need to be conducted   ;

Point 2: “Sometimes you'll find a research gap if all the existing research is outdated and in need of new/updated research (studies on Internet use in 2001, for example). Or, perhaps a specific population has not been well studied (perhaps there are plenty of studies on teenagers and video games, but not enough studies on toddlers and video games, for example)”;

Point 3: “When looking for research gaps across publications you may have noticed sentences like:
…has/have not been… (studied/reported/elucidated)
…is required/needed…
…the key question is/remains…
…it is important to address…

These expressions often indicate gaps; issues or topics related to the main question that still hasn’t been subject to a scientific study”;

Point 4: “A research gap is, simply, a topic or area for which missing or insufficient information limits the ability to reach a conclusion for a question. …. When we identify a research gap, we identify a direction for potentially new and exciting research….”;
