Research is identifying and filling the gap in knowledge
There are other gaps in knowledge that can be filled by research but this will be based upon previous research, some of which has been carried out by leaders in the topic of field and these researchers are Newton’s “giants”. A good example of a knowledge gap might be where we know that people who live in an urban setting engage in certain behaviours but we might not know whether people who live in a rural setting engage in the same or different behaviours. Thus, it is feasible to try and fill this knowledge gap by conducting the research in a rural setting to see if the results match those found in an urban setting. It is only by understanding the knowledge landscape that exits already that we can identify areas of the unknown.
