Thesis consulting provides methodological guidance, learning support, and structured feedback so researchers can conduct their own theses scientifically and systematically. The aim is to strengthen the researcher’s decision-making and academic writing skills.
Clear scope: We do not write a thesis or thesis chapters on behalf of a client. A thesis proposal, findings, discussion, or conclusion is not prepared as submission-ready work. Final decisions, interpretations, and text belong to the researcher.

Research Question and Planning
- Reviewing the scope and researchability of the topic
- Checking alignment among the purpose, research question, and hypotheses
- Creating a feasible timeline and progress checklist
- General guidance on ethics review, data permissions, and open science requirements
Literature Review
- Identifying suitable databases and keywords
- Structuring inclusion and exclusion criteria
- Teaching methods for organizing sources by theme
- Giving feedback on the researcher’s own synthesis for structure and citation use
Method and Analysis Plan
- Explaining assumptions behind quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-method options
