The research gaps provide new research ideas.

From a thorough desk research a researcher can identify the existing research gaps. Then the identified research gaps need to be filled (for example using hypothetico deductive approach). So there should be a link between the research objectives, research questions and the identified research gaps.

You can get an idea about the research gaps in the article by Iddagoda & Opatha (2017). This is available in the ResearchGate and the reference is given below.

Creative imagination is essential for progress, otherwise we keep repeating same patterns again and again. This is a secret for developing new research ideas, as said by Albert Einstein:

"To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science." — Albert Einstein

Dear Syed Shakil,

Thank you for invitation!… I have lot of research ideas (do not have free time to do Them)… (minimum 10-20 ideas; between them Uveitis(iritis)), Today I have had an intuitional moment connected to my profession)..

Perhaps you know:

• Do not believe anything…
• In most cases the very complex explanations are wrong… caused by no enough knowledge, or they are intended personal motive (example in medicine the multi drug maker are buying the academicals teachers for their purpose, falsification of geology models to make poor countries do not be able to find their natural resources... )
• Read lot of publications make notes why you accept the writer idea, can you find any other solution?
• Every time write down your ideas (the note book every time have to be with you) (make lot of question… and try to respond to them… Sometimes you will not have response, but letter intuitionally you can get response…
• Climb lot between simple people, village people try to hear them… Lot of time they have interesting story…
• Find those time when your soul clear, easily makes messages for you… (Most time my moment is early Morning)

Regards,

Laszlo

I am agree with prof. Han Ping Fung sources

Look for further areas of research shown in published research papers

Identify problems at workplace and in the society

Look for current trends of research in your field

László Attila Horváth and Anuradha Iddagoda have explained the way beautifully.

As far as the institute is concerned, i suggest few passionately very beneficial dimensions

1. Injecting ideology of research in early semesters will develop interest in students and there will be a pool of research questions and topics. Students will be eager to find the answers in final semester.

2. Assignments given to students during course work can be only research based, even in 1st semester.

3. Providing a big scale more user friendly research environment, and associating it with every subject of curriculum will make students more research oriented. This includes purpose built research/computer lab, easier access to online libraries and journals etc.

Assalamualaikum!

It depends on your interest, availability of rehab services in your department, your contacts with others in your field and above all FUNDS....

ALL THE BEST!

I have always found that if one observes the patient and what he or she is doing in a training situation like rehab medicine and listen to what the patient is telling the rehab medicine person about what works for the patient and what doesn't work, , the patient may actually tell you what is not working just quite right for them. One-to-one work with a patient often yields insights into what modification might help that patient as well as other future patients.

The best place to look for research ideas is looking within and without you. Ideas are internalized and it emanates from the perfect world of ideas. Day in Day in, there are novel challenges in our environment and we can also tap them.

(health care realated question so one should have suffient care at steps)

.....gain knowlege (Scientific Literarture/Patents/Publications/Other )

.....find whats are the problems

.....think (idea) on problems (practicality)..(why? How? What? When? is it so)

....imgine (conclude) with scientific base

.....make basic hypothesis (collecttion of basic finding based on availiable findings)

....turn your rationale hyopothesis in to results (Practical applications (Ideas) to test experiments)

....you got sucess or failure.....fine if you got results then its good ..if not then work on failure

....rethink on obervations and pitfalls (Again think....why? How? What? When? is it so)

.....and so on the thinking process to reach conclusions for questions

• During your practice find out the problems in assessment or in treatment.
• Find out the latest information and knowledge
• Find out related articles and do a literature review so we can identified gap between them.
• Make a hypothesis and do a pilot study on that you get idea about your hypothesis and gap which you find.
• If you get positive result than apply on large sample size.
