How can you find trending research topics in a field of research for example dentistry, education, psychology?
Answers
Answer:
Two of the best ways to find trending research topics is to examine:
1) Calls for proposals. Your field most likely has grant powerhouses. Look into which organizations offer grants to scholars in your field and the calls that they put out. Often, agencies select topics that they perceive to be meaningful based on the political or legislative climate. For example, I expect to see many grant agencies putting out calls for policing research (especially use of force) in light of the current events in the U.S.
2) The field's most frequently-accessed organization webpages. In psychology, that would likely be the APA website, in criminal justice, you could use the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, the American Society of Criminology, the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences, the Bureau of Justice Statistics, etc. Find outlets that disseminate research and find trends among the topics. Staying up-to-date with these sites and organizations is crucial to stay informed about trends in legislation, interventions, political activism, etc. about your field. I make a goal to access all of the topic criminal justice organization webpages and social media accounts once a week. Doing the same with your field will help bolster your knowledge and inform your research questions.

The Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) was used to measure dental anxiety among the study population. The responses were assessed by 5-point likert scale ranging from 1 to 5. The level of anxiety was categorized into lowly anxious (5-11), moderately anxious (12-18), and severely anxious ≥19. Out of 1500 students enrolled, 1024 students (342 males and 682 females) completed and returned the questionnaire having response rate of 68.26%. Results . There was a statistically significant difference ( P students had lowest mean score (11.95 ± 4.21). The fifth year (senior) dental students scored significantly ( P = 0.02) lower mean anxiety score as compared to the first dental students (junior). The students were anxious mostly about tooth drilling and local anesthetic injection. Conclusions .
