Biostatistics and
study design

Biostatistics for research papers

Biostatistics in original research papers must tell a logical story for the results section. Working with statistical reports from various companies convinced us that statistical expertise alone is insufficient to prepare publishable results. One must also know how to write a research article. Therefore, statisticians who never publish as first authors will likely give you disconnected calculations instead of publishable results. In contrast, we offer statistical reports consisting of publication-ready Methods, Results, tables, and figures so that you can just paste our report into your manuscript – see an example. We carry out statistical analyses for all biomedical research, including interventional and observational studies, registries, pre-clinical studies, and meta-analyses. Moreover, we are always glad to work on projects that require non-standard analyses.

Statistical analyses for dissertations

We offer statistical analyses for master’s and doctoral dissertations in all sciences. If you collect data in a spreadsheet, we will likely be able to prepare statistical analyses for your dissertation. All our analyses are print-ready, including tables and figures. Having your results ready is the best way to start writing your dissertation. A useful tip: do not waste your time by starting to write your dissertation from the introduction.

Study design

Researchers most commonly ask for help with statistical analyses when they have run all their experiments and gathered all their data. We strongly encourage you to consult with us before you start collecting your data. By joining your team at this stage, we will be able to see your project from a fresh perspective and suggest solutions to gather data of the best quality. We can also help you assess how likely it is for your project to get published and what can be done to increase that likelihood. Read this post to see that designing your study always pays off.

Dataset preparation

You will need a tidy dataset before you can analyze your data. We recommend consulting with us before data collection to avoid a messy dataset. Practice shows that messy datasets need more time for cleaning than for the intended analyses. Data scientists often repeat that tidy datasets are all alike, but every messy dataset is messy in its own way. If, however, you have a messy dataset, we will be able to clean it and get it ready for statistical analysis.

Data visualization

A picture is worth a thousand words. Likewise, good visualizations are the best way to make readers take note of your findings. We use the R programming environment considered the best software for data visualization. Our figures are clear, with all elements adding relevant information (see data-ink).

Let’s publish your research

We’ll help you at all stages, from study design through statistical analyses and manuscript preparation to publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
