A well-designed survey can uncover valuable insights; a poorly designed one can lead to misleading conclusions. Join Adam Berinsky of the MIT Political Experiments Research Lab for a 3-day online workshop on designing, implementing, and evaluating effective surveys. Through lectures, hands-on Qualtrics practice, and group discussions, PhD students, academics, and professional researchers will learn how to write better questions, understand sampling, spot common pitfalls, and communicate findings clearly. Whether you’re planning your own study or assessing research conducted by others, this workshop will help you approach survey evidence with greater confidence. Recordings and materials remain available for 30 days after the seminar. #Psychology #Sociology #Economics #PoliticalScience #PublicPolicy #Education #Management #Marketing #DataScience #Law #Medicine #Multidisciplinary #Statistics #SocialTheory #Qualtrics #Research #ResearchTraining #Instats

This workshop provides an Introduction to NDP 3. It is taught by Pam Williams, the lead author, and Friend of Speech Apraxia International.

This online workshop enables participants to explore the theories and concepts relating to scoping reviews and other types of evidence synthesis.

Want to use R more confidently in your research? Join the Centre for Applied Statistics Courses (CASC) at University College London for an online workshop designed for PhD students and researchers. You’ll build practical skills in importing and cleaning data, exploring and visualising results, running statistical tests, interpreting output, and writing simple R scripts. Whether your work is in biostatistics, data science, computational biology, or another data-driven field, this workshop offers a foundation for more effective statistical analysis. Seminar materials are available for 30 days, and participants receive a certificate of completion. #Biostatistics #SoftwareEngineering #Statistics #DataScience #ComputationalBiology #StatisticsEducation #Statisticalmodellingandregression #Education #InformationScience #Bioinformatics #R #Research #ResearchTraining #Instats

Planning a study? Getting the sample size right can make a real difference to the reliability of your findings. In this online CASC workshop, PhD students and researchers will learn practical approaches to sample size estimation and power calculations, from choosing a sample size for a desired confidence interval to calculating the numbers needed to detect a specified difference. Using accessible explanations and Excel spreadsheets, you’ll work through examples involving means, proportions and rates, with additional resources on time-to-event data, agreement and percentiles. The workshop includes take-home skill challenges, access to recordings and materials for 30 days, and a certificate of completion. Build the confidence to make better-informed study design decisions in your own research. #Psychology #Sociology #PoliticalScience #Management #Epidemiology #PublicHealth #ClinicalorLaboratoryScience #Education #Statistics #DataScience #Biostatistics #Excel #Research #ResearchTraining #Instats

How can you tell whether an AI-assisted research workflow is reliable—and show the evidence to back it up? Join Professor Michael Zyphur for an online workshop designed for PhD students and researchers who want to treat AI workflows as research methods that must be tested before use. Through a hands-on validation study with local AI agents, you’ll compare models, instructions, and settings; investigate failures; and learn to keep separate audit records for validation and research use. You’ll leave with an Auditable AI Workflow Pack to help document and defend AI-assisted work. The workshop is part of the four-part Agentic AI for Academic Research series, with a 10% discount when you sign up for all four: https://instats.org/course/agentic-ai-for-academic-research1. Zoom recordings and materials remain available for 30 days after the seminar. #HealthSciences #Humanities #LifeSciences #NaturalSciences #SocialSciences #Education #Ethics #DataScience #ComputerScience #InformationScience #PhilosophyofScience #Statistics #SoftwareEngineering #ChatGPT #Claude #Gemini #Copilot #ClaudeCode #Codex #Grok #MistralVibe #Research #ResearchTraining #Instats

Ready to move beyond regression and model latent variables with confidence? Join Professor Michael Zyphur for an online, practice-oriented seminar on structural equation modeling (SEM) in Mplus and R using lavaan. Designed for PhD students and researchers, the workshop combines hands-on work with TIMSS data and guidance on measurement models, mediation, moderation, and responsible use of generative AI for coding, troubleshooting, and reporting. Attend live via Zoom or revisit the recordings and materials for 30 days after the seminar. You’ll also have access to a monitored Q&A forum and receive a certificate of completion. This seminar is part of a two-part course on SEM and multilevel models in R and Mplus with AI; purchase both seminars to save 10%. #HealthSciences #LifeSciences #NaturalSciences #SocialSciences #DataScience #Psychology #Statistics #ComputerScience #ChatGPT #Claude #Gemini #Copilot #Mplus #R #MistralVibe #Grok #ClaudeCode #Codex #Research #ResearchTraining #Instats

Want to make your research easier to rerun, share, and trust? Join Michael Schulte-Mecklenbeck of the University of Bern for an online workshop on building reproducible research workflows with Quarto, R, Git, OSF Registries, and Zenodo. Designed for PhD students and professional researchers, the seminar combines hands-on guidance with open science foundations, from preregistration and FAIR principles to dynamic reports, version control, and archiving. You’ll learn to spot common workflow failures, document your analyses, and prepare projects that others can reproduce. Attend live via Zoom or revisit the recordings and materials for 30 days afterward; an expert-monitored Q&A forum is also available during that time. Participants receive an Instats certificate of completion. #SocialSciences #DataScience #ComputerScience #Statistics #Education #Quarto #R #Git #Research #ResearchTraining #Instats
