A PhD is a beginner’s qualification. Whatever your academic track record up to this point, compared to other academics with years or decades of experience, you are a novice.
The Nature of Research
Although every PhD project is slightly different, there are two universal principles that apply to research in general. Principle #1: research is unpredictable Principle #2: complexity tends to increase with time

With so many sources, and many new ones being published daily, it is impossible to read everything. The challenge then is not to read them all, but to intelligently select what to read.
research papers are not written to teach
Academic journal articles are written to communicate research to other experts in the field, so they assume a high level of pre-existing knowledge in the reader.
Getting know the field
First, who are the best-known and most influential researchers in your research area? Since these are the people everybody else knows about, it is important for you to know who they are and what research they have done that is considered so important. Second, but by no means less important, who else is doing similar research to you? Or put another way, who is your direct competition?
Finding a gap in the literature
You can’t just read a stack of literature looking for a gap; you need to have a rough idea for a research project first, and then look at the literature to see what research has been done. Your initial idea may then change or evolve in response to the literature you find.
