Types of Research Gaps: September 2021

The document proposes a taxonomy of 7 core research gaps: (1) Evidence Gap; (2) Knowledge Gap; (3) Practical-Knowledge Conflict Gap; (4) Methodological Gap; (5) Empirical Gap; (6) Theoretical Gap; and (7) Population Gap. The taxonomy was developed by Miles (2017) to build on previous models of categorizing research gaps. The source for the taxonomy is a workshop presentation by Miles from 2017 on identifying and defining different types of research gaps.
