About this use case

Analysing research data is where small errors become published errors. AI can help you clean data, choose and run appropriate tests, code qualitative material and visualise results, but every output still needs a researcher who understands the method and checks the numbers.

This hub covers SciSpace Academy's data analysis tutorials and tutorials, including a PhD statistician's guide to reliable AI-assisted analysis, qualitative research data processing, and finding, analysing and communicating open research data. Each tutorial focuses on a workflow you can reproduce and on the checks that keep your analysis defensible.

Frequently asked questions

Can I trust statistics produced by AI?

Treat AI-generated analysis like work from a new research assistant: useful, but always checked. Confirm that the test suits your data, re-run key results, inspect assumptions and keep the code or steps so the analysis is reproducible.

Can AI help with qualitative data analysis?

AI can suggest initial codes, group excerpts and summarise themes, which saves time on large datasets. The researcher should still define the coding framework, review assignments and interpret meaning, and should consider participant privacy before uploading any data.
