Some suggestions for success:
The articles you are looking for (lit review/meta-analysis; theory paper; research study) are the basis for forming your problem statement. By now you should (1) understand the different types; (2) have located the articles; and (3) you are writing up an annotated bibliography of each article.
To form your problem statement, summarize each article in your bibliography, focus on the purpose of the article, the method used, the results, and what the authors suggest are future directions for research (HINT – that’s where you find your gap). Look across the articles to describe a common or conflicting research issue (HINT: Conflicting findings in the literature are also the source of a gap).
