ARRC supports BAcC practitioners (and sometimes other prospective researchers) with advice on all aspects of research: choice of topic and research question, literature searches, methodology, outcome measures, funding sources and applications, ethical aspects and application to research ethics committees, data analysis, writing up and publication. Only a few of these aspects are touched upon in this web site as the general principles are comprehensively covered elsewhere (see references below, for example) and in any case there is a limit to how much can be done without knowing the individual circumstances.
