Back to customer servicesResearch teams

Your data are verified. Finish a defined analysis module.

Your team has screened, extracted and verified the data but is stuck on effect selection, study dependencies, missing information or conventional analysis and interpretation.

How does this scope address your concerns?

You do not want to pay again for searches and extraction already completed, or receive a forest plot without traceable data and code.

When this scope fits
  • You have verified extraction data that may be used lawfully
  • You need an agreed conventional analysis for 1 outcome and up to 20 independent studies
  • Your team wants to retain the code and reasoning for later review and use
When the scope needs adjusting
  • You only have references or full texts and still need complete screening and primary extraction
  • You need multiple outcomes, complex models, or a complete review within a single-module budget
  • You require statistical significance or target-journal acceptance as a delivery condition

Own review: association with non-home discharge

Lower preoperative social connection → non-home discharge0.5124

OR 1.95 · 95% CI 1.35–2.81 · 9 studies; low certainty

Own preoperative-social-connection manuscript: OR1.95 (95%CI1.35–2.81). Observational association, not a support-intervention effect. A prior research reference, not results from the fictional 15-study client dataset.

Scope & acceptance

Work covered by the quote

Buy the analysis stage you still need

  • Client-supplied, verified data; 1 outcome and up to 20 independent studies
  • Agreed conventional methods and sensitivity analyses; 1 revision round
  • Data-check records, code, result tables, a forest plot where appropriate, and 1 explanation and handover

No automatic renewal after delivery. New outcomes, models, or data batches require an agreed change to the work package.

  • Search, screening, primary extraction, and a complete systematic review are excluded
  • Additional outcomes, models, data batches, or complex statistics require scope confirmation first
  • Manuscript drafting, editing, submission materials and reviewer revisions are optional modules: separately agree manuscript stage, target format, revision rounds, author contributions and fees. They are not included by default.

Fictional example from the current psychology-team specification · A second outcome is assessed separately; the same data organization is not charged twice.

Acceptance criteria

  • Delivered results can be reproduced in the agreed runtime environment
  • Data, effect selection, missingness, and dependency handling are documented
  • The agreed 1 revision round and 1 handover are complete; positive findings, significance, citations, and acceptance are not conditions

Checking the evidence

  • The existing module specification covers client-supplied, verified data; methods and one revision round are agreed first.
  • Analysis depends on customer data, the data dictionary, and traceable original sources. Structural problems and data unsuitable for synthesis are documented.
  • Module-level data checks do not replace primary extraction and human verification of every full text. Additional review requires a separate scope.

Methods, sources and professional responsibilities
THE BASIS FOR THIS SCOPE

Why this approach? Inspect the basis.

A research commission should specify searching, selection, synthesis, certainty and any updating process.

METHOD REFERENCE

PRISMA 2020

PRISMA Executive

Report the review transparently

Report why the review was done, how studies were identified and selected, the methods and the results.

Scope & access conditions

PRISMA is a reporting guideline, not quality certification or a guarantee of positive findings or publication.

Open official source
METHOD REFERENCE

GRADE · Cochrane Handbook

Cochrane · Chapter 14

Show effect size and confidence separately

Present important outcomes, relative and absolute effects, available data and certainty, with reasons for downgrading.

Scope & access conditions

GRADE evaluates a body of evidence for a particular outcome. Database inclusion or one study does not automatically establish high certainty.

Open official source
METHOD REFERENCE

PRISMA-LSR

PRISMA · 2024 extension

Record how the evidence is updated

The living-review reporting extension adds detail about the searching and updating process.

Scope & access conditions

It informs a living-review reporting scope; it does not establish that every EOS product already updates automatically.

Open official source

These references support problem definition and evidence appraisal. Your conclusions still require project-specific sources and professional review.

What to assessElicit / CovidenceEvidence OS · Commissioned scope
Service focusCovidence and Elicit provide team screening, source-supported extraction, exports and reviewable workflows. Check their official descriptions for current functionality.Define the stage you need, agree inputs, methods and reviewers, and receive its registers, analyses, figures or code with an issue record.
When to chooseResearch tools suit teams with staff to execute and review the work. Compare commissioned modules by methods, review responsibility and outputs.Proposed CNY 3,000 conventional-analysis example: verified data, one outcome, up to 20 independent studies, agreed conventional methods and one scoped revision. Screening, original extraction and complex analyses are separately scoped.
What the fee pays for
Proposed from CNY 3,000 per defined module. Example: CNY 1,500 at start and CNY 1,500 at acceptance. Quote actual inputs, methods and review hours; clinicians and research teams use the same fee for the same scope.
Value beyond this task
Input-issue records, agreed results, method notes, figures and code for team review and subsequent research.
How to assess value
Compare software, internal hours, professional review and rework for the same module; accept the agreed results and reproducibility materials.

Default delivery covers the agreed module. Manuscript drafts and submission materials are optional and itemised. The entry price does not include a complete review; no promise of significance or acceptance.

Reuse and updates after delivery
  • Your team retains code, input versions, and method records for verification and manuscript methods or supplements. Whether the same approach fits new data still needs assessment.

Agree reuse rights, retention and export periods, and future update fees when scoping.

Questions before commissioning

Can you work with missing SEs or different time windows?

First assess whether the data and agreed methods support analysis. Information that cannot reasonably be converted or pooled remains documented as an issue; values are not invented and pooling is not forced. Additional extraction, complex models, or new statistical methods require a separate scope.

Does “from CNY 3,000” cover a complete meta-analysis?

It covers a conventional module using verified data: 1 outcome, up to 20 independent studies, agreed methods, and one revision round. Search, screening, primary extraction, a complete systematic review, and additional outcomes are excluded.

Is a non-significant result an incomplete delivery?

No. Acceptance concerns documented sources and data issues, agreed analyses, reproducible code, and accurately reported limitations. The direction of results and journal decisions are not promised or used as the fee basis.

Are results or a paper delivered?

Receive executed, agreed analysis results, figures and code. A manuscript, editing, submission materials or complete study require separately scoped work, fees and revision rounds.

Define the delivery for your actual question.

Add your goal, available inputs and timing. Agree scope, review responsibilities and a quote before commissioning.
