Virender Sehwag, former batsman for the Indian men’s cricket team, on Sunday chose to mock the 20-year-old daughter of a soldier who died in Kargil because of her campaign against student violence. ‘I didn’t score two triple centuries,’ says the placard on Sehwag’s joke post. ‘My bat did.’ The text is a direct response to 20-year-old  Gurmehar Kaur’s campaign  against the right-wing Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad’s  violence  at Ramjas College in Delhi. Kaur had changed her profile picture to include #StudentsAgainstABVP, but the popularity of her campaign also led viewers to a silent video she had made last year, calling for an end to state-sponsored conflict from India and Pakistan. “Pakistan did not kill my dad, war killed him,” she said.

Author: Tom Identifying gaps in the literature is a critical part of a review As with all research, it is important to formulate questions that need further investigation and identify gaps in the literature that must be researched. First you need to identify and select relevant information sources, which will mean looking at books in the library, catalogues, databases and on the Internet. Once you have decided what area you want to target and you have found appropriate sources to research you will need to interpret the results. Evaluate the information you have gathered carefully and if necessary modify your search. You are looking for: Gaps in the research where you can suggest ways forward or theories of your own. Areas where the research is incomplete. Once you have outlined the gaps in the literature, point these out and their flaws making sure that you identify the pertinent issues for future study. Identifying gaps in the literature shows that you understa

Published on   September 12, 2014 Sina Moeini molecular biotechnology First let’s start with a question: what is “research gap”? Research gap is a research question or problem which has not been answered appropriately or at all in a given field of study. Research gap is actually what makes your research publishable, why? Because it shows you are not just duplicating existing research; it shows you have a deep understanding of the status of the body of knowledge in your chosen field; and finally it shows that you have conducted a research which fulfills that gap in the literature. Researchers, particularly those pursuing Master’s or PhD often find it difficult to identify the gaps in the body of knowledge in their own chosen fields. Identifying gaps and generating research questions can be regarded as the first and most important step in writing a research paper. Of course there are many approaches for overcoming this difficulty, but finding original and innovative
