Phd Thesis Stage 2 Research Design

OPTION 2 OF 3 · PhD STAGE 2: RESEARCH DESIGN & CITATION VERIFIER Bring your existing research (bibliography, proposal, drafts, notes) or the outputs of Stage 1. Get back a research design you can defend and references you can trust. WHAT YOU GET • One verified evidence base: all your sources merged, de-duplicated and mapped to your research questions. • Citation verification: checks every reference is real and supports the sentence it is cited for; flags invented, mismatched and orphaned references and fixes links and DOIs (in a copy of your Word file or Google Doc, if you ask). • Argument map: your thesis statement, the claims for each research question and the evidence for and against them. • Methodology to prove each argument: design, sampling, instruments, analysis, validity and ethics, summarised in a research design matrix (question → claim → evidence → method → data → analysis → chapter). • Proposed chapters with aims, sections, sources and word counts, plus a timeline, risk register and a one-page supervisor brief. BUILT FOR RESEARCH INTEGRITY • Offers options; you decide. Never presents a gap as proof that nothing exists. • Uses the literature databases connected to your Claude, and remembers your decisions across chats. • Works with Word, Excel and Google Docs/Sheets, and on the free Claude plan. A RESEARCH BRAIN THAT GROWS WITH YOUR PHD On first use it installs a research wiki (only if you don't have one yet): linked pages for every source, concept and research question, an index, a dated log and regular health checks for contradictions and gaps. Every new paper updates the related pages, so your knowledge compounds across chats, in Google Drive, as files, or as a single file on the free plan. WRITES IN YOUR LANGUAGE At the start it asks which language your thesis is written in (e.g. English, Greek, Spanish, German, French, Italian) and follows that language's academic conventions. A built-in glossary links every key term to the language it originates from (e.g. Ancient Greek, Latin, German), with definitions and sources, so your terminology stays precise and consistent.
