Identify gaps in medical research
3 followers
A free tool that helps researchers identify gaps in medical research. Simply enter a topic (for example, Diabetes or Prostate Cancer), then choose two of six dimensions: Population, Methodology, Independent Variable, Outcome, Setting, and Study Location. The tool then generates a heatmap showing how many papers address each pair of values within the chosen dimensions. You can explore each pair and gain insight into the existing studies - if any - and start planning your next paper accordingly.
How do we start where others left off?
That’s the question behind Research the Gap. I created this tool to help researchers identify areas with little or no existing literature, giving a bird’s-eye view of scientific research. For example, a "Population - Outcome" grid for search term "Ozempic" might have an abundance of papers under “Pregnant Women - Side Effects” but not nearly as much for “Children/Adolescents - Mortality”. Likewise, a "Methodology - Independent Variable" pair for search term "Hypertension" could have way more “Meta-analysis - Drug Intervention” but not enough “Cohort Study - Psychological Factor”. Diving into each pair and gaining an understanding of what other researchers might have missed could be the starting point for your next paper!
