How we work
Our work is research support: meta-analysis, systematic and other reviews, statistical analysis, manuscript development, editing and publication support. Projects are carried out by specialists who work from their own locations and coordinate in writing, so the roles suit people who are careful, reliable and comfortable working independently across time zones.
We apply the same principles to our own team that we apply to the work. Every number is traceable, every reference is checked against its source, and nobody is asked to alter data or results, to hide a contribution that a journal requires to be declared, or to give clinical advice. Our research integrity statement and AI-use policy describe these commitments.
The roles are listed by service, so you can see where your skills fit. If none matches exactly, use the general application option in the form.
