Topic: How to get a research gap in an interested topic

Instructor: Professor Dr. Tanakorn Wongwuttanasatian | Faculty of Engineering, Khon Kaen University, Thailand

Time duration: 14:00-16:00

Date: March 6, 2026 | Friday

 

A comprehensive literature evaluation and a research gap that is a novelty of the work are essential components of a successful research proposal. An essential component of publication is novelty. Therefore, the starting point of research is the identification of a suitable gap, and it ends with a well-chosen publication. Step-by-step instructions are provided in this tutorial session for identifying a research missing link. Participants will acquire the ability to search for recent, relevant works, which will subsequently enable them to identify research gaps. A thorough literature review can generate research points that are subsequently necessary for future projects. This mission will employ a user-friendly search tool to identify a new research topic, establish objectives, and ultimately develop a strong proposal.
