The research cycle is on-going
The research cycle is an intrinsic part of that process. As researchers, we first need to become familiar with the current state of understanding about a topic or a subject and from that we can then identify any gaps in that body of knowledge that can be filled by research. It is important to note that not all knowledge gaps can be filled by research, at least not at the moment.
For example, we do not have a clear picture of what is happening in real time in the brain when we go shopping or drive a car or when we eat different foods. We have a general idea, but at the moment, we do not have the technology to access real-time images of the activity within the brain while undertaking these activities so filling this knowledge gap is, at the moment, not possible.
