For researchers, academics and research teams

Survey Analytics and Research Data Analysis

Your survey is complete. Now comes the question that matters: what can the data honestly tell you? We analyze survey and research data in SPSS, R and Stata and turn it into clear tables, charts and a written interpretation you can defend, from weighting and cross tabulations to regression and significance testing.

The short answer

What does survey data analysis involve?

Survey analysis takes raw responses and turns them into reliable estimates and comparisons. It usually starts with cleaning and coding, then weighting so the sample reflects the population, then descriptive tables and the statistical tests that answer your research questions.

The hard part is choosing methods that suit your design. A test that works for a simple random sample can give misleading results for a clustered or weighted survey, which is why we check the design before running anything.

Roles and handoffs

Where survey analysis fits in your research cycle

Research moves through the same stages whatever the topic. Analysis is only as good as the earlier stages, so we review the plan before fieldwork and do the analysis once the data is clean and coded.

See all FAQs
Which software will you use for my survey?

We work in SPSS, R and Stata and can deliver in whichever one you or your supervisor prefer, including syntax or code so the analysis can be rerun.

Can you analyze Likert scale data?

Yes. We check scale reliability, choose between parametric and nonparametric tests, and report results in a way reviewers accept.

Do you write the thesis or dissertation for me?

No. We provide analysis support, methodology advice and explanation that you can disclose, in line with your institution’s rules.

How do you handle missing data?

We first measure how much is missing and why, then choose a suitable approach such as complete case analysis or multiple imputation, and document the choice.

Can you handle large national surveys?

Yes. Our team has worked with provincial scale survey data, including weighting, clustering and estimates for subgroups.
