This study aims to explore the emerging trends in social sciences research. The methodological approach of this research is based on the desk review known as a literature review or secondary research, includes a systematic analysis and synthesis of existing academic studies. Academic literatures were retrieved from Google Scholar. Relevant institutional and policy documents were also included where applicable. Peer-reviewed journal articles, academic books and well-regarded research reports published in English language were included in this study. Studies with weak methodological rigor, limited relevance to the review scope, duplicate records, and those lacking full-text availability were excluded from the final selection. Pragmatic studies become a very powerful way of the transformative research problem. By incorporating new approaches like Arts-based research, studies on paradigm shifts can be more transformative. This study concluded the blend of literary genres, new ways of thinking, and different quality standards provides a powerful framework for professional development that goes beyond traditional research methods.
