Research Services from Douglas Perron

Where can I find the information I need and how will I know if it's any good?

How can I get my assistant to gather/synthesize the data that I need and feel confident about it?

Is this report accurate and does the data justify the author's conclusions?

I can give you the answers to these and other questions...

...through professional researching, critiquing/reviewing and information-research-training services...

...to improve your organization and your reports.

[Services are available to nonprofit organizations, individuals, and small businesses on a sliding-rate scale.]

Information and Data Research Services – You can “pull it off the Internet” yourself. But...

Did you get what you think you did?

How well does that information/data fit your needs?

There is a confusing array of information and data available “out there.”

If it is important enough to research, then it is important that you get the correct information and data to satisfy your needs.

Information-Research Training [only available in Ventura County - California]

How do you answer a research-request with data-supported information? Can your staff produce a comprehensive report of the information? Researching is not simply “Googling an answer.”

There are “methods to the madness” and “more than one correct answer to a question.” Information is oftentimes important and sometimes vital. Is it time your staff received training or a refresher course? A wise investment?

Critiquing/Reviewing Services

Credible or Incredible? Want another opinion? I'll review reports and give you “my two cents worth” – based upon knowledge gained from almost 30 years of researching, writing and reviewing experience.

I operate with Linux. (As easy, more robust, and a fraction of the cost of that other operating system. Hundreds of free, full-feature programs on a DVD for about $60!).

Content available in electronic file format (e. g., OpenOffice for Linux/Unix/Windows, PDF, MS Office for MS/Mac, and other requested formats) or printed format.
