SESSION 1: RRL & RESEARCH GAP

"RRL" in the context of research stands for:

• Research Revision Log

• Review of Related Literature

• Results and Raw Logs

• Relevant Reading List

RRL is also commonly known as:

• Future Studies

• Researcher's Opinion

• Previous Studies

• Methodology Review

An RRL primarily involves discussing:

• Only your own unpublished ideas.

• Published research papers relevant to your study.

• The financial budget of your research.

• Personal anecdotes related to the research topic.

The main purpose of including RRL in your research is to:

• Make your paper longer.

• Show you can use a library.

• Describe work similar or relevant to your own research area.

• Introduce completely unrelated topics.

An RRL might describe work on a "domain" that is similar or relevant to yours. What does "domain" refer to in this context?

If a previous study uses an approach or strategy that is useful to your work, it should be included in your RRL because:

• You plan to criticize its every aspect.

• You might adapt or build upon that approach.

• It proves your research idea is not original.

• It's the only paper you could find.

A research design from a previous study is relevant to your RRL if:

• It was heavily flawed and you want to point it out.

• It can be adapted or provide a basis for your own research design.

• It is from a completely different field of study.

• It was published more than 50 years ago and is outdated.

A "tool or device" mentioned in an RRL could be relevant if:

• It is a common household item.

• It was used in a previous study and might be applicable to your research.

• It is too expensive for you to access.

• It is no longer functional.

One key reason to conduct an RRL is to understand the "state-of-the-art" in your topic. This means:

• Finding out about the artistic aspects of your topic.

• Knowing the current highest level of development and existing knowledge.

• Learning about historical art movements.

• Understanding outdated and obsolete information.

How do you benefit from other's research findings through RRL?

• By directly copying their conclusions as your own.

• By building on their work, avoiding duplication, and learning from their insights.

• By finding flaws to discredit all previous researchers.

• By proving that your idea is completely unique and unrelated to anything else.
