The research gap emerges through extant literature review and is fundamentally the question that remains unanswered, unresearched, underresearched, or contradictory (Roberts, 2010). The gap in research does not originate from a lack of thoroughness but rather a derivative of deeper topical components for which the bodies of research were unable to expound upon the additional context based on its narrow scope. Reviewing multiple peer-reviewed literature and research provides the historical evolution of the topic and subject matter experts in the field. Paying attention to who was cited in correlative works and the number of times the articles were referenced, either through alignment in findings or contradiction can also provide much-needed context for gap identification. Secondary sources of literature should be reviewed to ensure gaps found in primary literature was not addressed in the secondary sources (Lei, 2009). Jacobs (2013) explained expertise stems from knowledge gained through a review of extant, relevant research, yielding the intellectual basis to effectuate problem identification in the literature._x000D_
