Description:

This Master Prompt would focus on systematically identifying where evidence is abundant, limited, fragmented, inconsistent, geographically concentrated, methodologically narrow, conceptually underdeveloped, or absent. It would guide researchers in distinguishing genuine evidence gaps from apparent gaps caused by restrictive eligibility criteria, terminology differences, database coverage, language restrictions, or insufficient searching.

A major emphasis would be placed on moving beyond generic statements such as “more research is needed.” Researchers would map gaps against populations, concepts, contexts, methodologies, geographical regions, outcomes, technologies, theoretical perspectives, or implementation domains and translate these into specific and defensible future research priorities. The uploaded literature repeatedly uses scoping review precisely to expose methodological, conceptual, contextual and implementation gaps.
