Course: CJ601-01:Seminar in the Administration of Criminal Justice > Section: Literature: Searching, Reading, & Organizing

When reading the literature, it is your job (not only) to determine the current state of knowledge (e.g. what we know) about the topic, but also to seek out "gaps" in the literature -- that is, figuring out what we DON'T KNOW, yet. This is important, because our research question is ``good'' when we are able to contribute something NEW to the literature -- contributing to new knowledge by filling in those existing gaps that haven't yet been explored.

These videos discuss the process of identifying gaps in the literature.
