Litmaps

Reading the latest research is essential - but there's often too much to read and not enough time. Instead of trying to read everything, focus on the articles most relevant to your research. Litmaps Monitor tells you when papers on YOUR topic come out - based on how those papers connect to your own research. It keeps you up-to-date without bogging you down with hundreds of papers. Thanks for sharing this excellent tutorial of how to use it, Muneeb. See below!

How can you be sure you didn't miss any key studies in your literature review? You may have collected dozens or even hundreds of papers on your topic. But can you be certain you didn't miss something important? There's a powerful, hugely under-rated way to do this: Search USING your existing library. You can use Litmaps to search using all your existing papers as an input - and Litmaps will find any additional, connected work. This helps you discover anything you may have overlooked, including important studies. Here's how it works: 1. Create a Map Import the articles you already have into Litmaps, either with a file, by list, or Zotero. 2. Run Explore Run the Explore algorithm to find relevant papers based on connections to your papers. 3. Review article suggestions Review the suggested articles and see if any are important to your topic that you maybe missed. You can see the metadata and source papers for each one. 4. Target your results For example: set the date filter to after 2018, to see if you’re missing any recent work. You can also filter by keywords, journals or authors. 5. Export the papers Now that you’ve found what you needed, you can export the articles out of Litmaps, or use Zotero sync to do it automatically. Do you have another way to check what work you missed?

Feeling stuck on picking your next research adventure? Steal my 'Research Gap' Pyramid Chart to navigate through! Ever find yourself going round in circles trying to choose a research topic? Dive into the world of 'research gaps'! Spotting these gaps is crucial for understanding what's already out there and identifying areas ripe for exploration. Let's explore the 7 key types of research gaps that could set the stage for your groundbreaking study: 1) **Evidence Gap** - Where data or empirical evidence is just not enough. 2) **Knowledge Gap** - Areas that scream for more understanding or info. 3) **Practical Knowledge Gap** - The chasm between theory and its application in the real world. 4) **Empirical Gap** - A dearth of empirical studies pointing to a need for more data. 5) **Methodological Gap** - When past research methods just don't cut it anymore. 6) **Population Gap** - The overlooked or underrepresented groups in studies. 7) **Theoretical Gap** - Missing pieces in the theoretical jigsaw of your field. Ready to be the one who fills these voids? 🌟 Choose your gap and leap towards new knowledge. Striving for more on navigating academic waters without hitting a rejection iceberg?

Most students know they need to "look for research gaps" - but what does this really mean? ✅ "Research gap" can be easy to define: any unexplored or unresolved area of research. ❗️But finding them is a whole different story... How do you find what isn't there? 🤔 💡 Use literature maps to spot research gaps. With Litmaps, you can: ➡️ Comprehensively review existing literature ➡️ See where research does (⚠️ and doesn't!) connect ➡️ Find inconsistencies and missing references Check out the link below for the step-by-step details on how to do this! Thank you for sharing, Muneeb.
