What can a researcher conclude if she cannot find any information to support her initial topic?

- she has chosen a topic that will require her to make too many inferences
- she has chosen a topic that is too narrow
- she has chosen a topic with too many opinions and not enough facts
- she has chosen a topic that covers too large or a geographical area

The researcher can conclude that she has chosen a topic with too few available resources or too limited research on the subject. This may indicate that the topic is not well-studied or that there is not enough substantive information available to support her initial research question. The researcher may need to consider broadening or refining her topic to find more relevant and credible sources of information.
