Methodology and Study Design

Service Description

This service is ideal for researchers aiming to publish in high-impact journals or apply for prestigious research awards. If you want your study to be competitive and highly regarded in top-tier publications, this service is for you. Foundational Design We begin by helping you formulate a research question that is not only relevant to your field but also competitive for top journals, addressing critical gaps or emerging topics. Objectives and Hypothesis We define clear research objectives and develop a hypothesis that accurately reflects the expected relationship between variables, establishing a solid basis for statistical testing. Variables and Criteria We guide you in defining independent variables (those you manipulate or categorize) and dependent variables (measured outcomes), as well as inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure a representative sample. Sample Size Calculation We assist in calculating the appropriate sample size, avoiding over- or under-sampling to ensure the study’s validity and statistical power. Study Design Selection We provide advice on selecting the appropriate study design (prospective, retrospective, case-control, cohort, etc.), which will influence your methodology, data collection, and result interpretation. Research Committee Preparation We support you in preparing a detailed study protocol, including background, objectives, methodology, and ethical considerations, to streamline the approval process with research and ethics committees. Final Review We ensure that the overall study framework adheres to best practices, and that it is feasible, ethical, and methodologically sound. By the end of this service, you will have a comprehensive study design ready for submission to research and ethics committees — and positioned for successful publication in high-impact journals or competitive award applications.
