About Research Gold

Published PhD Methodologists for Systematic Reviews, Meta-Analysis, Statistics, and Thesis Chapters

We handle the methodological work: protocol development, literature search, dual-reviewer screening, data extraction, risk of bias (RoB 2, ROBINS-I V2, Newcastle-Ottawa, or QUADAS-2), GRADE certainty ratings, statistics, and a publish-ready draft formatted to your target journal or committee, following PRISMA 2020 and the current Cochrane Handbook (version 6.5). Need only the statistics or data analysis? We take that on its own too. You retain authorship and intellectual ownership. All contributions are disclosed per ICMJE guidelines. Quote within a few hours, fixed price, no surprises.

What We Do

Eight Ways We Help Researchers Publish

From a single statistics question to a full PhD chapter, here is what we do.

Also available on request: protocol writing and PROSPERO registration, systematic search strategy design, health technology assessment and market access, pharmacovigilance literature screening, clinical data management, and more. Browse all services

How It Works

Four Steps From Topic to Manuscript

01

Send us your topic

A one-paragraph description and any files you have. Takes a minute.

02

Quote within a few hours

A senior writer reviews and replies with a fixed price and timeline. No back-and-forth.

03

We build the review

A PhD writer searches, screens, extracts, and writes. A second writer cross-checks. A statistician runs the analysis.

04

You get a manuscript

Formatted for your target journal, with figures, tables, and the underlying data files. Revisions within your agreed scope.

Methodology

The Standards Behind Every Manuscript

A review is judged on how it was built, not on who describes it. These are the published frameworks your project is built to, and the ones a peer reviewer will hold it against.

Reporting

PRISMA 2020
PRISMA-ScR
PRISMA-S
PRISMA-NMA

Every checklist item answered inside the manuscript, not promised in the cover letter.

Conduct

Cochrane Handbook 6.5
JBI Manual
PROSPERO protocol

Protocol first, screening second. Any deviation is recorded and explained, never quietly absorbed.

Risk of Bias

RoB 2
ROBINS-I V2
ROBINS-E
QUADAS-2
Newcastle-Ottawa

Domain-level judgements, each carrying the sentence from the source paper that justifies it.

Certainty

GRADE
GRADE-CERQual
Summary of Findings tables

Ratings that answer the question every editor asks: downgraded for what, and by how much.

What You Receive

Everything a Reviewer Can Ask For, Before They Ask

A finished paper is the visible part. The rest is the audit trail: the searches, the decisions, the judgements, and the code that reproduces the analysis. It all belongs to you, and it is what turns a revise-and-resubmit into a short reply instead of a rebuild.

  • The manuscript, formatted for the journal or committee you named
  • A PRISMA flow diagram whose numbers reconcile at every stage
  • The search string for each database, with the date it was run and the records returned
  • Screening decisions, with a stated reason for every full-text exclusion
  • Data extraction tables in a workbook you can open, sort, and edit
  • Risk of bias assessments at domain level, with the supporting evidence
  • Forest plots, funnel plots, and the heterogeneity statistics behind them
  • Certainty ratings and a Summary of Findings table
  • The R or Stata code that regenerates every number in the paper
  • Your reference library, ready to import
Our Commitments

How We Work With You

Four things that do not change, whether the project is a single statistical analysis or a multi-site review programme.

Your name on the paper

Authorship and intellectual ownership stay with you from the first search to the final proof. Contributions are disclosed the way ICMJE guidance expects.

We find the literature

You will never be asked for a library login, a database subscription, or a folder of papers to get started. Sourcing the evidence is our job, not yours.

Confidential by default

Every project is confidential from the first message. Your details, research questions, and deliverables stay protected, and everyone who works on your project is bound to keep it confidential. We never share, reuse, or publish your work without your written permission.

One price, agreed first

A fixed quote for a defined scope, sent before anything begins. The number you approve is the number you pay.

Revised until it holds

Committee questions, supervisor notes, and reviewer comments come back to us. We rework the methodology and the manuscript until it stands up, covered by our satisfaction guarantee.

Verified Client Reviews

What Researchers Say

The process went very smooth, the work was delivered on time and it was very perfectly done, and the changes were also made on time and as guided. Thank you so much for your work done on time and with good efforts.

Vidhi

Systematic Review - New Zealand

Three months left in fellowship and a meta-analysis I had barely started. The team picked up the pooled analysis on heart failure outcomes, redrew every forest plot, and reran a leave-one-out sensitivity check I had not thought of. Submission went through with two rounds of revisions, both manageable. The reproducibility pack saved me real time when reviewers pushed back on the heterogeneity choices.

Dr. S. Ahmed

Cardiology Fellow - Pakistan

Scoping review on malaria chemoprevention attached to a foundation grant. Their librarian rebuilt the search across five databases, handled PROSPERO drafting, and dual-screened roughly 2,300 records. Turnaround on the protocol stage was slower than I expected, but they were upfront about it and the actual review landed on time. Would use them again for the next phase.

Dr. R. Okonkwo

Public Health Researcher - Nigeria

I came in with extracted data from 27 breast cancer trials and no statistician. They reconstructed the analysis in R, ran the network meta-analysis with SUCRA rankings, and built the GRADE Summary of Findings table I could not have written myself. The R scripts ran on my laptop without modification, which is rare.

Dr. M. Al-Rashidi

Oncology Consultant - Saudi Arabia

Umbrella review on cardiovascular outcomes after bariatric surgery. Deliverable arrived with full reproducibility files, AMSTAR-2 ratings on every included review, and a clean overlap matrix. My junior faculty could actually defend the methods section in seminar. Worth what we paid.

Prof. L. Henrik

Department of Epidemiology - Denmark

Network meta-analysis on neonatal sepsis treatment, fourteen antibiotics, eight outcomes. I would not have known where to start. Scope shifted twice on my side and they re-quoted both times without drama. Final network ranked the interventions cleanly and the sensitivity analyses held up under reviewer scrutiny.

Dr. A. Patel

Paediatric Intensivist - India

Institutions & Research Teams

Working With Universities, Hospitals, and Research Organizations

Institutions commission both single reviews and multi-review programs. Engagements run on formal itemized quotes, milestone-based payment schedules, and invoices your finance office can process, with a mutual non-disclosure agreement available before any project discussion. A named project director coordinates scope, milestones, and delivery across every manuscript, and each deliverable ships with the documented search logs and reproducible analysis code an audit requires.
