Need context first?

Read the guide that explains each checklist.

The proposal guide, analysis-readiness guide, and reviewer-response guide explain why each check matters and how it connects to a defensible research process.

Move from checklist to project decisions

Proposal planning connects to research proposal support. Data readiness should be reviewed before selecting quantitative analysis, qualitative analysis, or a mixed-method route. Journal revisions should preserve alignment among the response letter, manuscript, tables, figures, and supplementary files.

These downloads are designed for researchers in any country and should be adapted to current university, ethics, funder, or journal requirements. A generic checklist cannot approve a method or predict an academic decision. For project-specific review, use the structured enquiry.
