TOPIC DEVELOPMENT

Access to all major databases

Dedicated analysts in your field

Revisions and assistance until approval

Constructing a new study from the ground up can be daunting, even for experienced researchers. For doctoral candidates and others new to academic research, it can be hard to figure out where to even start! You might already have research questions that you want to ask, but how do you know that there is a legitimate need to address these questions in your graduate research?

In order to develop a successful study, your research topic needs to be three things: clear, contemporary, and compelling. This means you need to present in your dissertation or thesis writing a focused and specific topic that has current relevance in your field. More importantly–and this is where compelling comes in–your topic should be one that has yet to be addressed in the existing research.

There are 3 ways to initiate contact with us:

  1. Please review and submit the following form. Someone from our team will contact you within 1 hour (during business hours), or at your requested time.







    1. Alternatively, our consulting team is available via telephone Monday through Friday from 8:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M Eastern Time (5:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M Pacific Time), and from 8:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. Eastern Time on Saturday (5:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M Pacific Time). Feel free to call us

    Please be prepared to discuss the specifics of your project, your timeline for assistance, and any other relevant information regarding your proposed consultation. We respect the confidentiality of your project and will, at your request, supply you with a Non-Disclosure Agreement before discussing specifics.

    Once you’ve determined that your topic meets the “3 C” criteria, you then need to begin to think about how to design your study to answer the questions that will drive your study. Again, this is where many of our dissertation clients encounter challenges, not only in selecting the best methodology for their proposed research, but in ensuring proper alignment between the foundational sections of their study.

    The topic development stage is a tremendously exciting moment in the research process, and here at QandQ, our dissertation consultants have developed a unique and comprehensive approach to supporting our clients as they finalize their topic and methodological approach. Whether you have a clear idea in mind, or don’t know where to start, as your dissertation coach we can help you find a topic that you’ll be excited to pursue.

    • We’re also familiar with many of the major online universities’ specific requirements for prospectus and concept paper presentations of proposed topics, so rest assured that we can help you develop a firm foundation for the full study to come!

      • Our topic development process begins with a call with one of our methodologists–either qualitative or quantitative, depending on your preference–to discuss the two basics: your general interests for the study, and what is realistic for you in terms of sample size and data collection.
      • From there, we embark on the comprehensive and exploratory research needed to find a current and significant research gap in your discipline. Once we select a potential research gap that we can address, we can develop the problem statement and theoretical framework. We’ll share this with you right away so that we’re able to make sure to be on the same page. The problem statement, in particular, is the cornerstone for the whole study, and so making sure that it’s set appropriately before we expand to the full foundation (purpose, research questions, and methodology) will be very important.
      • Once we have your approval to move forward in alignment with our suggested problem statement, we create your purpose section. From there, we ensure that the research questions, hypotheses, instrumentation, and sampling plan are aligned with the problem and purpose statements, and completely feasible for you in terms of data collection. As part of this process, we also confirm that the proposed quantitative or qualitative research methodology properly addresses the research questions.
      • As a final step, we’re able to provide full support as you complete the remainder of your full initial deliverable–whether that’s a concept paper, a prospectus, or your introduction to the full dissertation. Typically 12 to 15 pages in length (although we can absolutely tailor our dissertation assistance to meet your needs), this document in its final version contains the full and approval-ready foundation for your study, aligned precisely with your requirements.

    Let’s keep it a secret…

    Before sharing your materials with us, we will send you our Non-Disclosure Agreement, which guarantees that your work materials, and even your identity as a client, will never be shared with a third party.
