INITIAL DESIGN
The researcher describes the project’s objectives and deadlines and ERATEMA will determine the type of study and the final time frame.
GATHERING OF DATA
Researchers can be assisted by ERATEMA regarding the data gathering and provide the final database or they may request ERATEMA’s field network to carry out the data gathering and the subsequent data recording.
The researcher proposes the areas of interest, while ERATEMA lays out the most adequate statistical analysis plan; from this point, a constant flow of information between the researcher and ERATEMA is established in order to achieve the best possible results for the researcher.
FINAL PUBLICATION
ERATEMA’s technical personnel explains the results gathered to the researcher, and responds to all possible claims and doubts which may arise, subsequently advising and reviewing the final publication.
