The intellectual content, reasoning, and written work belong entirely to the researcher. Supervisors must be informed that statistical consulting is being used. **Do researchers need to acknowledge the consulting?** Yes. Consistent with the research integrity expectations of Australian universities, researchers are required to acknowledge the statistical support in the Acknowledgements section of their thesis or paper. Guidance on appropriate wording is provided. **How much does statistical consulting cost?** Pricing is tailored to each project based on the type of analysis, volume of data, and level of support required. A free, no-obligation quote is provided after an initial discussion. There are no hidden fees. **Can any Australian researcher use this service, regardless of university?** Yes. LM Statistics is a private, independent service with no university affiliation requirements. International students studying in Australia are also welcome. **Is statistical consulting permitted under Australian research integrity rules?** Yes. Statistical consulting is a recognised practice under the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research, provided it is acknowledged appropriately in the thesis or publication. **What does the researcher receive?** A detailed technical report covering the methodology and results, a dedicated results walkthrough session, and ongoing email support about the delivered work — included at no extra cost. **Which disciplines do you serve?** Medicine, Nursing, Physiotherapy, Public Health, Epidemiology, Psychology, Pharmacy, Nutrition and Dietetics, Dentistry, Veterinary Science, Occupational Therapy, Speech Pathology, Midwifery, Biomedical Science, Social Work, Education, Biology, and more. **What statistical methods do you cover?** Descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing (t-test, ANOVA, chi-square, Mann-Whitney), linear and logistic regression, survival analysis, factor analysis and PCA, structural equation modelling (SEM), multilevel modelling, time series analysis, psychometric scale validation, sample size calculation, power analysis. **How does the consulting process work?** 1. Initial meeting to understand the research aims and data. 2. Proposal of analyses and quote. 3. Collaborative statistical work. 4. Delivery of detailed technical report. 5. Walkthrough session to explain the findings. 6. Ongoing support for questions about the delivered work — included at no extra cost. **What career stages do you support?** Honours students, Masters by Research and PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, early-career academics, and clinical researchers preparing manuscripts or ARC/NHMRC grant applications. **Do you support grant applications?** Yes. We assist with the statistical sections of ARC and NHMRC grant applications — including sample size justification, proposed analytical strategy, and power analysis — for postdoctoral researchers and early-career academics. **Can you help with research design before data collection?** Yes. See https://lmstatistics.com.au/services/research-design for sample size calculation, methodology planning, sampling strategy, and questionnaire design and validation. ## CONTACT - Email: info@lmstatistics.com.au - Site: https://lmstatistics.com.au - About: https://lmstatistics.com.au/about - Contact form: https://lmstatistics.com.au/contact
