Describe how the synthesis of the articles informs a gap in the research that your dissertation study will fill.

The literature review of a dissertation is more than a “book report” that summarizes a set of research articles. The literature review is a synthesis of ideas. This synthesis illuminates a gap in the research literature that can be filled by additional research such as a doctoral dissertation. In this assignment, you will synthesize the articles you summarized in the Topic 2 assignment, and you will describe how the synthesis of the articles informs a gap in the research that your dissertation study will fill.

Write a paper (1,250- that synthesizes the 10 studies you summarized in the Topic 2 assignment. Do that by including the following in your paper:
A statement of common findings addressed in each of the articles.
A statement of the conclusions that can be drawn when the articles are taken together as a single entity (synthesis). What is the overall message of the group of articles? (Benchmarks: Critically appraise and synthesize existing research.)
A discussion of how these studies, when taken together, inform the research gap that your dissertation will fill.
