Templates and planning documents for research projects.

Data Analysis Plan#

A Data Analysis Plan (DAP) is a lightweight internal document used to track how we structure and analyze data during a project. It serves as a central reference for the team and evolves over time as the analysis progresses.

This is not a formal preregistration or replication package. Instead, it helps coordinate analysis decisions, catch issues early, and make handoffs or writeups easier.

Context#

The term DAP can mean different things depending on where it appears:

PPQ

PPQ#

A Problem Purpose (Research)Question (PPQ) document is an approach to writing a research plan. The document helps keeping an overview over the project and provides a single source of truth for collaborators.

Often, it is the first non-draft document established for a project and serves as seed for later, more detailed documents such as the Experiment Guide or the Data Analysis Plan.

Specifically for a PPQ, many of it’s structures correspond directly to sections in the corresponding publication.
