Wits staff and students often spend a lot of their own time and dedicated research funds to consult with specialist statisticians – either to learn more, to confirm their current understandings of techniques, or because they are new to quantitative research and are looking to initiate quantitative studies.
The Wits Research Office has recognised this need and is trialling “Stats Central,” a model of central statistical support services for the 2024 academic year.
Stats Central is a virtual network of training and specialist statisticians contracted to the Wits Research Office. The network provides need-specific, differentiated levels of support to all Wits staff, doctoral and masters students planning or currently conducting research that requires statistical analysis as part of the project’s research design. The service is free to staff, doctoral and master’s level students, as the Wits Research Office will cover the consultation costs in 2024.
