I hope we see Alexandara in more interviews and your channel. She's great

[@GradCoach]

Thanks!

You guys are amazing, as someone who has never done a research before, this has been a life saver for me in my master, coming from an engineering background, I was most used to how to apply knowledge from research to solve problems and optimize results, choose the best products, etc, but never with a standard of a publication paper, now in my master this is a must have ability and this videos has helped me a lot

[@caiholbrook7458]

Hi, can you please suggest any book(s)/article(s)/video(s) which help us to learn how to write a research article(s)? Of course, learning about research methodologies, data analyses, etc., are important; however, not knowing how to write/present the literature review, findings, discussions, etc., is even more important. P.S. Thanks for your hard work in developing such informative videos for us.

[@sofiatrujillo7620]

this was great thank you!

[@GradCoach]

You're so welcome!

What if you have found interviews in your search for secondary information. Can I use these findings? By classifying the guestions and answers to areas that answer my research questions?

[@GradCoach]

You'd need to check with your university. Different institutions and programs will have different requirements/expectations in terms of the data types allowed.

[@Jamesbond17222]

coach help me about my research in assessment of disease occurence in gallrust.

[@MsREDDEVIL2]

Hi guys. I'm struggling to find a dissertation using secondary research. Could you point me in the right direction please.

[@GradCoach]

Our content is primarily geared towards studies using primary research. However, many of the analysis methods can be used in much the same fashion. You may find some of the content on the Grad Coach blog useful - gradcoach.com/blog/.

[@emansamir8478]

I wish you presented some real examples of the structure of the results so we can follow and analyze the results with you I mean for beginner researchers

[@GradCoach]

We've got a few other videos where we go into more detail of the results chapter (quant and qual). Check them out on the channel :)
