The Right Study for the Right Question is a 2-page literature-search companion built to solve one specific problem: sinking hours into reading papers that never should have made your reading list.
Before you download a single PDF, this guide walks you through matching your research question to the study design that can actually answer it and provides you with questions to filter your search. Inside you will find:
A quick-reference table pairing common research questions with the right study design and search terms
A four-point checklist (Match, Recency, Fit, Reach) to scan before you commit to reading the full text
A three-question gut-check to catch claims that overreach what a study's design can actually support
A recommended search order across databases
A worked example, start to finish, showing the process applied to a real research question
