Researchers
We at eValop know that research encompasses many needs which include researching, using analytical software, proofreading and editing. At eValop we are specialised in assisting researchers in becoming familiar with different software, as well as creating professional formats for your final thesis or research paper.
eValop provides assistance in the following programs:
As theses are long and require a strict format to abide by the Charles Darwin University 'HDR — Presentation of Thesis Procedures' document. eValop can assist in understanding what is needed. In addition, provides you with the skills to enable you to create tables of contents, tables of tables, tables of figures, headers and footers. We enable you to advance your skills in the presentation of a professional document. eValop can develop your knowledge step by step, whatever your current level.
There may be times you may need to use Excel whether to build tables which use functions, charts to explicitly present information in a graphical way, or whether you wish to analyze data in a more holistic dimension. eValop can provide you with the skills to make the most of this software.
Access is a great program for looking at your data and provides a succinct way to hold data and to eliminate anomalies that may distort results. Reports from Access can look at the detail or summarise information, and can give insights to more complex datasets.
For qualitative analysis NVIVO is a very effective program. It provides a means to analyse documents, datasets, PDFs, websites, audio, and movies — and more. It offers a library where the researcher, can manage knowledge in a more productive way, than more traditional methods. Furthermore you can code, reflect and ask questions in many dimensions to stimulate thought and ideas in relation to your research. It enables you to identify the narrative in your data which may not necessarily be obvious. eValop provides just in time assistance and customizes support to the specific needs of your thesis.
R is a widely used program among researchers and data miners for developing statistical software and data analysis. We at eValop will get you familiar with the program so you are able to be more effective with your time.
For statistical analysis, SPSS is a program that addresses the analytical process ranging from data collection to analysis, and reporting. We at eValop can give you a helping hand with your statistical data.
One of the issues associated with learning, is that there is a bias towards PC, due to the predominance of PC on campus. We at eValop are familiar with both operating systems, so can provide tailored support dependent on whether you are using either PC or Mac.
If there is a program not listed here and you want some help, try eValop. At eValop, we are always happy to take on new software and if it is something that is helpful for researchers, we will learn it quickly to a high proficiency to deliver the support you want.
