When to use this
Use this before uploading data or defining a research pathway.
Why it matters
A project provides the ownership and provenance boundary for every later research artefact.
Step-by-step instructions
1. Open My Projects or the dashboard.
2. Choose New project.
3. Enter a concise study title.
4. Select the known research design, or leave it unspecified.
5. Add an optional description and create the project.
6. Open Research Intelligence later to document the full design.
Expected outputs
A private project, an initial design revision, and links to upload data or continue project setup.
How to interpret the results
The project is a container, not a claim that the design is valid or complete. Review and approve design details as your study develops.
Common mistakes
Do not place respondent data in the project description. Avoid creating separate projects for every analysis of the same study.
