Question 1

What exactly does SRPI do?

Accepted Answer

We provide research development, analytical, editorial, coaching and publication-support services. That includes research design, data analysis, academic editing, technical project guidance and manuscript preparation for submission to journals.

Question 2

How do I get a quotation?

Accepted Answer

Send an enquiry describing your discipline, stage, deadline and what you need. After a consultation we issue a written scope with deliverables and a fee. Quotes depend on scope, complexity, data volume, deadline and publication stage.

Question 3

Which disciplines do you support?

Accepted Answer

We work across the social sciences, business and management, health and life sciences, education, engineering, computing and data analytics, and related fields. If a project falls outside our expertise, we say so rather than accept the work.

Question 4

Is support for students permitted?

Accepted Answer

Our student support is educational: coaching, developmental feedback on your own drafts, methodology discussion and skills training. We do not write assessed work for submission as your own unaided effort. You are responsible for complying with your institution's academic-integrity rules.

Question 5

Can you analyse my data for me?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we can plan and run quantitative or qualitative analysis on data you provide, and explain the output so you can interpret and defend it. We report what the data shows and will not alter results to reach a preferred conclusion.

Question 6

How is my work kept confidential?

Accepted Answer

Materials are treated as confidential and shared only with those working on your engagement. We do not reuse or publish your unpublished work. Please do not send sensitive personal data or unpublished datasets before a handling approach is agreed.

Question 7

Do you support Q1–Q4 journal targeting?

Accepted Answer

We provide quartile-aware journal targeting across Q1–Q4 pathways, based on aims and scope, article type, indexing and the fit of your contribution. Quartile rankings are published by external databases and can change over time.

Question 8

Can you guarantee publication in a Q1 journal?

Accepted Answer

No. Nobody can. Peer review and editorial decisions rest entirely with journals. We prepare your manuscript to meet the expectations of your target venues and set realistic expectations about fit.

Question 9

How long does an engagement take?

Accepted Answer

Timelines depend on scope, data complexity, review rounds and how quickly you can review drafts. We agree a schedule with you during scoping rather than advertising fixed turnaround claims.

Question 10

Are revisions included?

Accepted Answer

Review rounds are defined in your written scope so expectations are clear on both sides. If your needs expand beyond that scope, we issue a revised scope before doing additional work.

Question 11

What happens if reviewers ask for major revisions?

Accepted Answer

We help you interpret the reports, plan the revision, strengthen the manuscript where warranted and draft a clear point-by-point response for your approval. The final response is always sent by you as the author.

Question 12

Are you connected to Scopus or Elsevier?

Accepted Answer

No. Scopus Research Publishers International is an independent consultancy and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Elsevier or the Scopus® abstract and citation database.
