Novel means new and different
from what has been known
before.
Novelty is a very important aspect of
research. It is true that research has
progressed tremendously in the past two
decades due to the advent and accessibility of
new technologies that enable goods and data
sharing.
Consequently, it might be difficult to find a
topic about which nothing is known or no
literature is available. However, there is still a
lot of scope for progress.
For finding novelty in your area of research,
you should do a thorough literature search to
find out what is known and what are the
gaps which need to be clarified. There might
be topics that are studied but reports are still
contradictory. Researching this can lead to
novel leads.
 
Many times, a novel research might just
mean disproving what is already known. The
novelty will largely depend on your in-depth
knowledge of the field. With the increasing
amount of research output, many high
impact journals are now seeking highly
novel information to publish.

A research could be novel if: 
a. there is a deficit in the literature in the
field
b.the methodology is (relatively) new with
reference to traditional practices, but
reasonable with respect to the specificity
of the issue to be addressed

 
A research could be novel if:  
c. there is scarce interest of traditional
academic consideration (e.g. lack of citations,
etc.) towards those who tackle the issue
d.there is interest of young students or
researchers in addressing the issue (e.g. in
their thesis or research work). 
.
 
Novel Research
 
New problem
New Solution
New Findings 
To claim something novel, it needs to
possess the "quality of being new,
original, or unusual". The methodology
itself can be novel. The results obtained
from using a known methodology may
also be novel
