Can’t find relevant literature!
Being a researcher in Psychology, I thought there would be huge literature to study in my field of interest, but I was wrong. I researched on my topic for more than a month, but there was nothing relevant to my study. How do I find the proper study on my topic when the topic has so little of the literature? Please help me out.

There is nothing like no relevant study of a topic. You have to make the literature pertinent to you. Make use of the information in your domain and mould it as per your topic. Around a billion researches in the world, there must be at least one research talking about your topic; however, you have to jot down the elements from that research and find information on those elements. Let’s say your research is about something happening in the 10th century and you can’t find enough material about the era, revolve your topic around it. Grab information about 13th-century politics, social norms, and other things to compare it with the 10th century and coming back to your topic.

@Aditi – You cannot say that the researcher will be beating around the bush because what I mean to say here is that if there is not sufficient information or literature on the topic, the researcher must go beyond the topic to make way back to it. It is more like making use of the existing literature and finding key points for your research in them.
