A study like mine came out mid-PhD. I nearly restarted. Check these 4 GAPS first.

Then use the paper. Cite it in your literature review. Bring it back in your discussion chapter, where your findings agree with it or differ. A new paper can take your topic. It can't take your answer.

Have you searched for new papers on your topic this year? Yes, no, or too scared to look? Bookmark this. RT tweet 1 for someone panicking about a new publication. Every Wednesday I send one technique most supervisors never teach. Free. Under 4 minutes: phdtoprof.com/newsletter

Sorting 420 results from my lit review used to take a day. This time it took 15 minutes.

That's my advice to any PhD doing this: use AI for the sorting, but do the thinking yourself. The moment AI decides what to include, it's doing your research, and that will get you into trouble with your advisor and university.

I nearly quit my PhD in year 2. Since then, I've seen 5 reasons PhDs quit. 2 of them nearly got me.

None of these mean you're not good enough. They mean you need a way through. Shut the doors you can. Name the ones you can't. Your supervisor cancels 3 meetings in a row. Should you be allowed to switch supervisor? Yes or no.
