ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Your dissertation is your work,
and it should stay that way.
01
You are the author
Dr. Yel does not write your dissertation or any chapter of it. The research questions, decisions, and interpretations are yours. His role is to advise, teach, and review.
02
You can defend every result
Nothing is handed over unexplained. We work through each method, assumption, and finding until you can explain and defend it to your committee on your own.
03
Your program's rules come first
Programs differ in what outside statistical help they allow. Before we begin, check your program's policy and let your chair know you're working with a statistical consultant. Many students also acknowledge this support in their dissertation.
Dr. Yel declines work that would misrepresent authorship or data, such as writing chapters, altering or fabricating data, or anything your program's policy prohibits.
A FEW THINGS YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING
Good questions.
Honest answers.
Can I get help with just one part of my project?
Yes. Support can focus on a power analysis, an analysis plan, a set of results, or committee feedback. We can also discuss support across several stages.
What should I bring to the first conversation?
Your research questions, your current stage, and any deadlines are a helpful start. A proposal or a summary of committee feedback can also help. You don't need a finished analysis plan.
Will I understand the analysis?
That's central to the process. We walk through the choice of method, assumptions, results, and limitations so you can explain the decisions behind your work.
Is working with a statistical consultant allowed?
Usually, though the rules vary by program. You remain the author, Dr. Yel does not write your dissertation, and every result is explained until you can defend it yourself. Check your program's policy and let your chair know you're getting statistical help.
How much will support cost?
The scope depends on your research design, data, and the support you need. Your consultation is the place to discuss deliverables, pricing, and timing before starting.
Can you help with my thesis or capstone?
Yes. Statistical support is available for master's theses and DNP and EdD capstones as well as doctoral dissertations.
