Research Genie vs REST

Introduction The Research Genie app is based on a logical framework exclusively directed at participants who have successfully completed the research methodology sessions designed and conducted by St. John’s Medical College Research Society, Bengaluru. The ideation and concept creation of Research Genie was done by Ramesh. A, Professor, Otolaryngology Head & Neck surgery & Nachiket. S, Professor, Anatomy. Design inputs were provided by Ruchira Ala Bunga, Intern, St. John’s Research Institute. The coding was performed by Compuhive Knowledge Hub pvt Ltd. St. John’s Medical College Research Society owns copyright for Research Genie. This app can used without internet connection, once it is downloaded on your phone. Logical framework of Research Genie Research Genie starts with stating the steps for knowledge creation. Schematic and easily understandable diagrams depict the various components of research methodology. These diagrams are designed for rapid recapitulation of all the sessions on research methodology. First the user is prompted to define the target population with help menus for assistance. After this, a highly interactive window opens. This channels the thinking process of the user to accurately choose the most appropriate research pathway to answer a particular research question. Each pathway comprises of blank templates with prompts, schematic visuals of data patterns, information required for sample size calculation, summary measures and tests of significance specific for the chosen domain of research. If the user goes into a wrong pathway, the flow gets interrupted and prompts the user to start again. This process iterates till the most appropriate research methodology for a given research question is selected. This ensures that the user is guided to the correct research domain. Background Resources required for getting complete value from Research Genie 1. Course book “A Magic Journey into the World of Research in Medical Sciences” 2. Concept card used in the Research Methodology sessions.

REST helps researchers, graduate students, and academics choose the correct statistical test for their study — without needing advanced statistics knowledge. Instead of searching through textbooks or guessing which test to use, REST conducts a smart, adaptive interview about your research design. It asks only the questions relevant to your specific study, then recommends the right statistical test with a clear scientific explanation. KEY FEATURES - Statistical Test Guide — An interactive interview that adapts to your answers, covering over 30 statistical tests from t-tests and ANOVA to survival analysis and logistic regression - Sample Size Guide — Calculate the ideal sample size for your study design - Questionnaire Guide — Design valid, reliable research questionnaires - Statistical Write-up Generator — Generate a ready-to-use methodology paragraph for your thesis or paper - Learning Library — Clear explanations of when and how to use each statistical test WHO IS REST FOR Undergraduate and graduate students, academic researchers, physicians, health researchers, and anyone working in social sciences, humanities, or business research who needs to choose the right statistical test with confidence. REST doesn't just name a test — it explains why, what assumptions are required, and offers valid alternatives when assumptions aren't met. Available in Arabic and English. يساعد REST الباحثين وطلبة الدراسات العليا وأعضاء هيئة التدريس على اختيار الاختبار الإحصائي الصحيح لدراستهم، دون الحاجة لخبرة متقدمة في الإحصاء. بدلاً من البحث في الكتب أو التخمين، يجري REST مقابلة بحثية ذكية ومتكيفة حول تصميم دراستك، يسأل فقط الأسئلة الضرورية، ثم يوصي بالاختبار الإحصائي الأنسب مع تفسير علمي واضح. الميزات الرئيسية: المرشد الإحصائي — مقابلة تفاعلية تغطي أكثر من 30 اختبارًا إحصائيًا مرشد حجم العينة — احسب حجم العينة المثالي لدراستك مرشد الاستبيان — صمّم استبيانات بحثية صحيحة وموثوقة كتابة التوصية الإحصائية — فقرة منهجية جاهزة لرسالتك أو بحثك المكتبة التعليمية — شروحات واضحة لكل اختبار إحصائي لا يكتفي REST بذكر اسم الاختبار فقط — بل يشرح لماذا هذا الاختبار تحديدًا، وما الافتراضات المطلوبة لصحته، ويقترح بدائل موثوقة عندما لا تتحقق هذه الافتراضات. REST متاح بالعربية والإنجليزية
