FAQ
Your questions, clear answers.
The most common questions about our services, how the process works and confidentiality.
We provide consulting on methodology, statistical analysis, literature review, survey design, language editing, academic translation, reference and citation consistency, and defense preparation for theses, articles and associate professorship applications. On the analysis side, we offer quantitative analysis with SPSS, qualitative analysis with MAXQDA, and ANSYS and Python analysis consulting. All of our services are consulting and process support; we explain their scope in detail on our Ethical Principles page.
The analysis plan and steps are designed and carried out together with the researcher, and every step is explained with its rationale. The aim is for you to understand, reproduce and defend your analysis. Interpretation of the findings and the final text belong to the researcher.
No. Akademik Merkez is an independent consultancy with no institutional affiliation to YÖK (Turkey's Council of Higher Education), ÜAK (Inter-University Board) or any university. We take into account the current regulations published by these institutions, but we do not guarantee acceptance, publication, graduation or academic success. Final control and responsibility rest with the researcher.
No. These passwords (for Turkey's e-government portal, the higher education information system and ÜAK) are never requested at any stage and should not be shared with anyone. Applications, uploads and submissions are made only by the researcher.
If the rules of your university or the journal require it, we recommend that you acknowledge the methodology, statistics, language editing or translation support you received in the acknowledgements or declarations section.
