Scope determines the price
A descriptive statistics report is not equivalent to multivariable regression, confirmatory factor analysis preparation, mediation/moderation modelling or repeated-measures ANOVA. Data cleaning, reverse-coded items, missing values and outliers can also change the workload.
Professional SPSS consulting begins by reviewing the research questions and dataset, then defining which tests are appropriate, which assumptions must be checked and how the results should be reported.
What should an SPSS deliverable include?
Raw SPSS output is rarely sufficient for a thesis or manuscript. Clean tables, concise interpretation, p values, effect sizes, confidence intervals, assumption checks and publication-ready figures may be needed.
The goal is to prepare an analysis file that can answer the methodological question: why was this test selected and how should the result be interpreted?
What should you send for a quote?
The dataset (.sav, .xlsx or .csv), research questions or hypotheses, scale information, advisor notes and target reporting format are the key files. A preliminary discussion is also possible before sharing sensitive data.
Urgent timelines can be considered, but data screening and analytical quality control should not be skipped.
| Service area | Deliverable | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| Basic analysis | Descriptives, normality, t-test, ANOVA, chi-square | Undergraduate and master’s projects |
| Scale/model work | Reliability, EFA preparation, regression, mediation logic | Psychology, education and health sciences |
| Publication reporting | APA-style tables, result narrative, figures | Manuscripts and revisions |
Frequently asked questions
Is the fee based only on the number of variables?
No. Variables matter, but data quality, test complexity and reporting requirements are equally important.
Can you use R or GraphPad instead of SPSS?
Yes. The software is selected according to the research question and data structure.
Can you help with the results section?
Yes. Technical interpretation and academically appropriate results reporting can be included in the scope.
