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]."

Trae Young and Steph Curry at age 22. Via IG/hoops.empire

@Realrclark25 LeBron, KD, Steph, Harden, Kawhi

NBA’s top 5 for sure Super Stars are? If you don’t have Lebron & KD in yours please don’t reply. So, basically give me the other 3.

@jwdaddy80 @BenRossTweets @WorldWideWob No. Steph made it. twitter.com/thehoopcentral…

Where's Bernie? 😂🤣

@NonCasualFan @warriors @StephenCurry30 This picture sums up my season as a sports fan. I'm a Texans and Warriors fan. Really not having a good time ATM.

All-time bucket getter. @StephenCurry30 passes Rick Barry for 2nd on the franchise all-time scoring list. 👏

@ActorCapone @warriors @KDTrey5 This is basically a whole new team playing. No Klay, no Draymond, no Iguodala, no Livingston.

So whatever happened to the all-time @warriors squad from like 2 years ago. I know that it was just @KDTrey5 that left, but did other people leave as well? #GoldenState #Warriors #NBA

@aaronjreiss Elite!

@jbralston This exactly describes my experience. Spot on.

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

@Vastlys @ShannonSharpe Forgive the ignorance of someone from Britain but is New Jersey “another Country”???? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Yeah, he’s going to take care of blue states, forget the red ones because they’re run so poorly. Sounds familiar 🤣🤣🤣

@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

@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.

@ShannonSharpe “BabyBird” Dude plays nothing like Larry Bird my guy

Luka AKA “BabyBird” got another trip dub on the Clippers with 15 mins still left to play, on the 2 best wing defenders since MJ/Scottie. What am I missing? 🤔🤔# NBAPlayoffs

@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.
