Services
We can assist you at any of the four stages of your survey.
Stage 1 — Designing the Questions
Our expert team of researchers will work with you to develop your questionnaire at any point in the design stage. Some clients come to us with only general concepts while others have already designed a complete questionnaire. We are happy to work with you at any point of the design process. Our services include:
- Questionnaire and Concept Design
- Pilot Testing of Questionnaire
- Reliability Testing
- Factor Analysis of Preliminary Data
- Planning for Data Analysis and Report Writing
Stage 2 — Survey Implementation
We take care of all aspects of implementing the survey from creating the survey* to supplying you with an analysis-ready dataset in the format of your choice. In between we take care of emailing invitations, managing logins and providing updates as requested.
* Surveys are written with XHTML and use CSS to manage the appearance. While most researchers prefer to use online surveys we can configure your laptop to perform surveys offline.
Stage 3 — Data Analysis
A full range of data analysis services are available. Services include, but are not limited to:
- Data Cleaning
- Missing Data Analysis
- Descriptive Data (means, standard deviations, confidence intervals, etc.)
- Comparative Analysis
- Statistical Modeling (regression, structural equation modeling, factor analysis, etc.)
- Graphing
Stage 4 — Report Writing
We write stand-alone reports and methodological and/or results sections for scientific papers. Report writing will be based on the data analysis and subject to the interpretation of the report writer. The client should provide, in advance, a detailed description of the topics to be covered in the report if specific issues need to be covered.
