Methodology & Statistical Support
Study design, sampling, and statistical analysis that stands up to review.
Make your findings methodologically sound and reviewer-ready — from the design stage through to the final numbers.
Overview
Strong methodology is what separates a publishable study from a rejected one. Our specialists support you at any stage: choosing an appropriate design, calculating sample sizes, selecting the right statistical tests, running the analysis, and interpreting the results correctly. We also help you describe your methods and statistics clearly enough that reviewers can follow — and trust — them.
Support is available as a one-off review or as ongoing collaboration throughout your project.
Our approach
Methodological support follows a clear path: get the design right, size the study so it can actually detect what you are looking for, analyse the data correctly, and interpret the results honestly. A weak link at any point undermines everything downstream.
Sample size is the step most often underestimated. A study that is too small cannot reliably detect a real effect, no matter how careful the analysis — which is why we calculate the power your design needs before data collection begins.
What’s included
Study design
Choose a design that fits your question and withstands scrutiny.
Sampling & power
Sample-size and power calculations that justify your numbers.
Statistical analysis
The right tests, run correctly, with results you can interpret.
Methods write-up
Clear methods and statistics sections that satisfy reviewers.
A clear, guided process
Consult
We discuss your question, data, and where you need support.
Plan
We recommend the design, sampling, and analysis approach.
Analyse
We run or guide the analysis and check the assumptions.
Interpret
We help you read and report the results correctly.
Deliverables
- A recommended study design matched to your question.
- A documented sample-size and statistical-power calculation.
- An analysis plan, and the analysis run or guided end to end.
- Clear methods and results sections written to satisfy reviewers.
Standards & rigour
We apply recognised methodological and statistical reporting practice, so your numbers are defensible and your write-up is transparent enough for reviewers to trust.
