Macam-macam Research Gap, State-of-the-Art,dan Novelty dalam Penelitian Ilmiah: Wajib Ada di Jurnal

Summary

In this video, the presenter discusses key components that should appear in a scientific paper for international journals, specifically focusing on State of the Art, Research Gap, and Novelty. These components are crucial for journal acceptance, and the video explores various types of research gaps such as knowledge gaps, practical knowledge gaps, evidence gaps, empirical gaps, and more. The presenter provides examples from their own research to clarify these concepts and explains how researchers can identify and fill these gaps. The video also highlights how AI tools can assist in quickly identifying research gaps for more efficient paper writing.

Takeaways

• 😀 A research manuscript must include three essential elements: State of the Art, Research Gap, and Novelty.
• 😀 State of the Art refers to the existing body of knowledge on the research topic and helps provide a foundation for the study.
• 😀 The Research Gap identifies areas in the existing literature that are underexplored or need further investigation.
• 😀 Novelty refers to the new or innovative aspects of your research that contribute to filling the identified gap.
• 😀 Manuscripts must align with high-quality journals, such as those indexed by Scopus or accredited by Sinta 2, for better chances of publication.
• 😀 Researchers should identify and clearly explain the types of research gaps: Knowledge Gap, Practical Knowledge Gap, Evidence Gap, Empirical Gap, Methodological Gap, Population Gap, and Theoretical Gap.
• 😀 Knowledge Gap occurs when there is no existing research or insufficient evidence on a particular topic.
• 😀 Practical Knowledge Gap arises when there is a disconnect between academic research and real-world applications.
• 😀 Evidence Gap refers to contradictory findings between studies, highlighting the need for further research to resolve these inconsistencies.
• 😀 Theoretical and Methodological Gaps focus on the lack of theories or frameworks and the need for improved research methodologies to better address questions.
• 😀 It is crucial to demonstrate how your research addresses one or more of these gaps, as this provides the foundation for the research's relevance and impact.

Q & A

What are the three key components that must appear in a manuscript submitted to reputable journals?

The three key components that must appear in a manuscript submitted to reputable journals are State of the Art, Research Gap, and Novelty.

What could happen if a manuscript lacks the three key components (State of the Art, Research Gap, and Novelty)?

If a manuscript lacks these components, it could be directly rejected by the editor, fail during the review process with a recommendation for rejection, or, in rare cases, be allowed revisions to include these components.

What does the term 'State of the Art' refer to in research writing?

'State of the Art' refers to the current knowledge, methodologies, and technologies related to a specific research topic, showing the development in the field up to the present day.

How is a Research Gap identified in research?

A Research Gap is identified by reviewing existing literature, recognizing the weaknesses or limitations of previous studies, and identifying areas that have not been explored or fully addressed.

What is the significance of Novelty in research?

Novelty in research refers to the new contributions or findings that distinguish the current research from previous studies, addressing unanswered questions or gaps in knowledge.

Can you provide an example of how the State of the Art, Research Gap, and Novelty might be presented in a research paper?

For example, in a study on COVID-19, the State of the Art might describe previous surveys on knowledge, attitude, and practices regarding the virus. The Research Gap might highlight the lack of research involving medical students, and the Novelty could be the introduction of a new study evaluating the perspectives of Indonesian medical students on COVID-19.

What are the seven types of Research Gaps mentioned in the video?

The seven types of Research Gaps are: Knowledge Gap, Practical Knowledge Gap, Evidence Gap, Empirical Gap, Methodological Gap, Population Gap, and Theoretical Gap.

What is a Knowledge Gap and how is it different from other types of Research Gaps?

A Knowledge Gap occurs when there is a lack of information or understanding on a specific topic, such as the cause of a disease that has not been researched yet. It differs from other gaps as it specifically addresses missing knowledge.

Can you explain an example of an Evidence Gap?

An Evidence Gap occurs when research findings are inconsistent or contradictory. For example, if one study says chocolate is beneficial while another claims it is harmful, this creates an Evidence Gap, where there is no clear consensus.

What is an Empirical Gap, and how might it be addressed in research?

An Empirical Gap occurs when a theory or idea has not been tested with real-world data or experiments. It can be addressed by conducting fieldwork or experiments to validate the theory in practice.
