Identifying research gaps can inform the design and conduct of health research, practice and policies by informing the current body of evidence
This study will provide insights into issues related to defining research gaps and methods used to identify and display gaps in health research from perspectives of key stakeholders involved in the process
This is a follow-up study of a wider project; the first study was a scoping review exploring methods used to identify and display research gaps reported in scientific publications.[1]
Summary
Identifying research gaps can inform the design and conduct of health research, practice and policies by informing the current body of evidence. This study aims to explore how key informants define research gaps and characterise methods/practices used to identify and display gaps in health research to inform future research practice and policies. We anticipate performing up to 28 interviews with the different key informant groups who are involved in using evidence to inform health policy, practice and research. Discussion This is the protocol for a follow-up study that aims to complement and enrich the findings of the scoping review on methods to identify, prioritise and display gaps in health research. Identifying research gaps can help inform the design and conduct of health research, practice and policies by providing a better understanding of the current body of evidence.
