What is AI Methodology Advisor?
The Methodology Advisor agent analyzes your research question to recommend
qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods with real paper examples and tool
guides. Recommendations are based on methodologies used in similar studies,
and results carry forward to the Survey Generator.
When should you use the Methodology Advisor agent?
Use it when you've settled on a research topic and hypothesis but haven't decided which research method to use. It's especially helpful when you're unsure whether to go with qualitative or quantitative research, or which analytical tools to use.
What information can you get?
- Research method recommendations — Suggestions for qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods based on your research objectives
- Real paper examples — Examples of papers that actually used the recommended methodology
- Analytical tools guide — Practical guidance on statistical analysis tools, data collection methods, and more
Does it recommend both qualitative and quantitative research?
Yes. The agent automatically analyzes the nature of your research question and suggests the most suitable approach among qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods. It also supports cases where mixed methods are needed. The full process of designing a research methodology is covered in the How to Design Research Methodology guide.
