Identify Themes and Gaps in Literature

1. Find out connections and relationships between the sources you’ve read
2. Trends and patterns (in terms of theories, methods and results)
3. Themes (spot concepts and questions repeat again and again across literatures)
4. Debates, conflicts and contradictions (similar methods but different results? Against general consensus?)
5. Pivotal publications (influential studies, e.g. Gravity)
6. Gaps (what have not been done?)

Our study has quite the same topic (about social media) with the given example, so it was really helpful and I got a lot of ideas for our study! Thanks!
