Topic of interest

Instructions- Decide about a topic of interest to you and develop a research question related to it. To develop the question, you must identify a gap in the research literature that needs to be further examined. Take the following steps:

Identify five to seven academic peer-reviewed journal articles from the last five years in your area of interest. Skim them by focusing on the abstract and conclusion.

According to the authors of at least one of the articles you identified, what does future research need to examine? or based on their findings, what limitations do the authors indicate need to be addressed? This information would be in the conclusion of academic articles. Considering this information, develop a research question that you would like to explore, based on a gap or limitation that previous authors have identified as needed for further exploration. For this discussion, please cite the article from which your research question was developed and summarize its findings regarding research needs or limitations. Format all citations to conform to APA guidelines

Defend your statements with logical and valid arguments. Remember to cite all sources referred. Is always wise to post your first answers early and verify regularly to develop the discussion. Reply to your peers and instructor’s posts as well.
