Ph.D. Problem Identification – Mentoring to identify right problem
Engaging expertise who has studied the topic would enhance your research - A Trusted Ph.D. Research Mentoring Support
Most of the students select a problem that is much too broad in scope due to lack of understanding of the nature of research and the process of problem-solving activity. Further this also is perhaps due to the researcher’s enthusiasm and desire to solve a problem immediately.
The problem statement identified by our PhD experts would ensure that the problem has not been addressed previously or a gap in knowledge still exists. The solutions and the possible results may be seen or factually contradicting, with possible and plausible explanation for the undesirable conditions. We ensure to develop the research problem based on the following factors that includes Interest, expertise, data availability, relevance, and ethics.
PhD Experts at PhD Assistance have capability & skills to select not only right problem statement but based on the current gap & need
Our problem identification service is an iterative process, and it would take multiple attempts to get it right. Before translating your idea into a problem statement, our PhD experts would brainstorm to answer some basic questions a) what is the overriding problem; b) population and sample affected due to the problem; c) type of study; d) quality or quantitative type of study; e) methodology chosen; f) type of data collected and finally, the possible outcome expected
For example, our problem statement will imply the study nature (e.g. experimental, create a model, historical, phenomenological, evaluative, Q-methodology, Delphi, heuristic, correlation).

Frequently Asked Questions
For the purpose of developing a meaningful and focused research topic, it is important that a researcher nominate first a specific and researchable problem in his field of study. For example, a PhD candidate in Psychology cannot study every branch of the discipline (i.e., Clinical, Counseling, Health Psychology, School Psychology). Instead, they should narrow the scope based on academic ambitions, career goals, or social need, or research gaps.
After selecting the domain—let’s assume it to be Clinical Psychology—the second part is to select a focused, evidence-based issue within the discipline. It could be pertaining to issues like Eating Disorders, Behavioral Medicine, or Addictive Behaviours. A good problem statement, rooted in prior literature and practical significance, serves as the core to your dissertation.
Our research gap identification service provides PhD research problem help to articulate this very narrow research problem by reviewing existing research, establishing research gaps, and aligning the problem to your field and scholarly goals.
The precise services differ with the level of service you select. But all levels include:
- Specific and research-worthy problem identification
- Short problem statement aligned with prior research and scholarly standards
- A conceptual or background paper pertaining to your area of interest
- Under the Elite Plan, we also provide:
o Explanation of this selected problem based on literature
o Support for the research gap
o References and formatting in accordance with academic style guides
No, they are connected but not identical. In Problem Identification, we help you craft a well-defined, researchable problem statement within a specific field or domain. It’s the first and foremost step before shortlisting to a particular topic. For example, instead of writing about “eating disorders” in general, we might suggest doing “addictive behaviours” since it is more prevalent within a specific region (e.g., XX State). We support our proposal with recent studies and explain how tackling this problem can fill a gap in current research and address pressing societal needs.
Topic selection tends to follow problem identification and is the issue of narrowing down your final research title and objectives from the identified problem.
- Peer-Reviewed Plan: Experienced feedback on your proposed problem
- Editing Plan: Polishing your written problem statement
- Custom Plan (Elite): Full support, including literature search, research gap identification service, and writing a complete, well-supported problem statement
