2. What are the gaps in research in this topic? Is there any unexplored area or population? Are there any new trends or shifts of research?
3. What are the most often used methodologies and approaches, e.g. quantitative, or qualitative? What are the advantages, disadvantages and limitations of the methods used? Length: 1500-2000 words.
