What Is RSMinds?
RSMinds is a comprehensive research methodology platform built for PhD scholars, postdoctoral researchers, and academic professionals. It combines structured learning content with AI-powered tools to guide researchers through every stage of study design — from formulating a research question using PICO and SPIDER frameworks, to selecting the correct statistical analysis, calculating sample sizes, and generating publication-ready reporting checklists like CONSORT, STROBE, and PRISMA.
The platform covers 205 study designs including randomized controlled trials (RCTs), cohort studies, case-control studies, cross-sectional surveys, qualitative research designs, mixed methods, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses. Each design includes detailed methodology guidance, advantages, limitations, variants, and AI copilot assistance. With 1,977 statistical analysis tools providing code examples for R, SPSS, Stata, and Python, RSMinds is the most comprehensive research methodology resource available for scholars worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I design a research study?
+
RSMinds guides you through study design in 5 steps: (1) formulate your research question using PICO or FINER frameworks on quest.rsminds.com, (2) select the appropriate design from 205 options on design.rsminds.com, (3) calculate sample size on sample.rsminds.com, (4) plan data collection and statistical analysis, and (5) generate the appropriate reporting checklist (CONSORT, STROBE, or PRISMA).
What is a CONSORT checklist?
+
The CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) checklist is a 25-item evidence-based set of recommendations for reporting randomized controlled trials, developed by the EQUATOR Network. RSMinds provides an interactive CONSORT checklist tool on consort.rsminds.com with AI-powered guidance for completing each item correctly.
How do I calculate sample size for an RCT?
+
To calculate sample size for a randomized controlled trial, you need: significance level (typically α=0.05), statistical power (typically 80% or 90%), expected effect size (from pilot data or literature), and primary outcome measure type. RSMinds' calculator on sample.rsminds.com handles these inputs and adjusts for dropout rates, clustering effects, and multiple comparisons.
