[Prof Lennart Nacke, PhD @acagamic]

I've been advised to avoid the phrase:

"No previous studies have investigated..."

It's a cheap hook to claim the value of your study.

Here are 5 approaches I use in my writing instead:

1. I emphasize the novelty of proposed research

Don't focus on the absence of previous research.
Claim the originality of your proposed research.

Example:
"This study proposes a novel approach to [topic] that builds upon existing theories but introduces a unique methodology to address [specific gaps]."

2. Acknowledge existing research & identify gaps

Emphasize that studies have addressed the topic.
But focus on limitations in the existing knowledge.

Example:
"While previous studies have explored the relationship between [two variables], they have primarily focused on [specific aspects] and have not adequately addressed [specific gaps]."

3. Identify practical applications or unsolved issues

Draw attention to the topical practical implications.
Outline the unanswered questions that remain.

Example:
"The lack of clear understanding of [topic] hinders our ability to [practical application] and raises further questions about [specific unanswered questions]."

4. Highlight the need for more conclusive research

Outline the boundaries of existing conclusions.
Promote more comprehensive research.

Example:
"Existing studies have provided valuable insights into [topic], but the field lacks a comprehensive understanding of [specific aspects] because of methodological limitations [or limited sample sizes]."

5. Encourage longitudinal or comparative studies

If you face cross-sectional research...
Or longitudinal or comparative components lack,
You can push for these studies to deepen knowledge.

Example:
"While cross-sectional studies have provided initial insights into [topic], longitudinal studies are needed to examine changes over time[, and comparative studies are needed to assess cross-cultural differences]."

@jbralston This exactly describes my experience. Spot on.

@kevin_drane @Vastlys @ShannonSharpe Lol.. was wondering thesame thing😄

[Kingsley Ivande @IvandeKingsley]

@Enrix10Htx @riversmccown Also lost Carlos Hyde who had a thousand yard Rushing season, replacing him with David Johnson who was meant to be an upgrade but is shocking bad. Now, we can't establish the run which is the primary problem with the offense. And ofcourse, the defense has spectacularly regressed

[Kingsley Ivande @IvandeKingsley]

@Sloc12 @ShannonSharpe 100% agree. If anything, he plays more like LeBron and a little bit of Harden. Just like LeBron, he is an elite getting to the rim guy and a special playmaker. Both are average 3pt and free throw shooters.

@Giannis_An34 This was the Aaron Gordon dunk. Only difference was that Gordon did it over a f***ing person. Still can't believe he didn't win smh.
