What We Do
One research partner, from design to publication
Organized by what your study needs—not by trend. Every engagement follows the same discipline: a defensible design, documented analysis, and output your reviewers can trust.
Causal Inference & Policy Evaluation
Difference-in-differences, regression discontinuity, instrumental variables, and matching for credible causal claims.
Explore areaMeta-Analysis & Evidence Synthesis
Systematic reviews and meta-analysis—from effect-size extraction to random-effects models, meta-regression, and CoTiMA.
Explore areaSEM & Psychometrics
Covariance-based and PLS structural equation modeling, measurement invariance, and scale validation done properly.
Explore areaMachine Learning & AI
Predictive modeling, text-as-data, and NLP for research questions where interpretation matters as much as accuracy.
Explore areaFinancial Econometrics & Risk
Volatility modeling, asset pricing, event studies, and risk analytics on market, firm, and portfolio data.
Explore areaPanel & Longitudinal Research
Fixed and random effects, dynamic panels, multilevel and growth models for data observed over time.
Explore areaBibliometrics & Scientometrics
Citation and co-word mapping, research-gap identification, and landscape analysis to position your work.
Explore areaQualitative & Mixed Methods
Grounded theory, thematic analysis, case study, and QCA/fsQCA—integrated rigorously with quantitative work.
Explore areaStatistical & Methodological Audit
An independent review of an analysis you already have—assumptions, endogeneity, robustness, and reproducibility.
Explore areaAccreditation & Institutional Analytics
AACSB and EQUIS readiness, benchmarking, and research-productivity analytics grounded in your own data.

Micro, macro, and applied economics—labor, development, health, environmental, urban, and public economics.
Explore domainFinance
Corporate finance, asset pricing, banking, financial markets, and financial economics across firm and market data.
Explore domainBusiness & Commercial Research
Accounting, auditing, corporate governance, business strategy, analytics, and international business.
Explore domainSocial Sciences & Allied
The interdisciplinary social-science research that surrounds and informs management and economic questions.
Explore domainSustainability & ESG
ESG, green and climate finance, environmental and energy economics, CSR, and sustainability reporting.

How We Work
The MAS Research Model
A single, transparent pipeline that carries a project from an unformed question to work that changes how a field or an institution thinks.
01
Discover
We map the literature and locate the gap—where a real, answerable question actually lives.
02
Design
We choose an identification and measurement strategy that can bear the weight of your claim.
03
Data
Sourcing, construction, and cleaning—documented so every variable is traceable.
04
Analyse
Estimation with full diagnostics, then the robustness and sensitivity checks reviewers expect.
05
Synthesize
We turn results into a coherent argument—what the evidence supports, and what it does not.
06
Validate
Independent methodological review before anything leaves—assumptions, specification, reproducibility.
07
Communicate
Journal-ready tables, figures, and methods text that read the way your field expects.
08
Publish
Journal selection, submission, and reviewer-response support through to a decision.
09
Impact
Dissemination and institutional analytics that carry the work beyond the paper itself.
Journal Finder
Find the right home for your paper
A searchable, author-oriented guide to Scopus-indexed Q1 and Q2 journals across economics, finance, and management—built to be a reference, not a sales funnel.
- Search by name, subject category, or quartile
- CiteScore and SJR shown by subject category and year—quartile depends on the category
- Scope, aims, and indexing status with a last-verified date
- Optional Journal-Fit Analysis when you want a closer read
Our Positioning
More than a statistics desk or an editing service
MAS Research is a research intelligence and analytics organization—bringing together methodology, data, evidence synthesis, and publication support under one roof, so the whole arc of a project holds together.

- Secure transfer and storage of your data
- Documented, reproducible analysis with versioned code
- Authorship and intellectual credit remain entirely yours
Client Feedback
What Researchers Say
From research design and methodology to rigorous analysis and publication — in the words of our clients.
“MAS Research helped us move beyond simply running the analysis. They challenged our initial model, explained the methodological choices clearly, and helped us build a much more defensible research design. The difference in the final work was substantial.”
— Dr. E** C**** · PhD Researcher, University of Edinburgh
“What I valued most was that they did not simply tell me which method to use. They helped me understand why it was appropriate, what assumptions needed to be tested, and how to interpret the results. I felt much more confident discussing my methodology afterwards.”
— Dr. R** S**** · Research Fellow, University of Warwick
“Our study required specialist expertise in both panel econometrics and finance. MAS Research was able to bring the right methodological depth into the project while keeping one senior person accountable throughout. That made the entire process much easier to manage.”
— Prof. A** M**** · Faculty Researcher, University of Manchester
“The analysis was approached with the kind of scrutiny we would expect from a strong journal reviewer. Diagnostics, robustness checks, alternative specifications, and the limitations of the data were all considered rather than treated as afterthoughts.”
— Dr. N** K**** · PhD Researcher, London School of Economics
“One of the things that stood out was their willingness to question our assumptions. They were very clear about what the data could support and what it could not. That intellectual honesty ultimately made our research stronger.”
— Prof. S** R**** · Associate Professor, University of Birmingham
“The team brought together methodological expertise and practical research understanding in a way that was extremely useful. The work was clearly documented and reproducible, and we retained a much better understanding of the analysis rather than simply receiving a set of tables.”
— Dr. P** A**** · Research Fellow, University of Cambridge
Common Questions
What researchers ask us first
We support quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods research across Management and Allied Studies—economics, finance, management, business and commercial research, social sciences, and sustainability and ESG. On the methods side we cover econometrics, causal inference and policy evaluation, panel and longitudinal modeling, meta-analysis and evidence synthesis, structural equation modeling, machine learning, and more.
No. MAS Research is not a manuscript-writing mill. We provide research intelligence, analysis, methodological review, and publication support—journal selection, methods and results reporting, technical editing, and reviewer-response support—so the work remains the researcher's own while meeting the standards of rigorous, reproducible, publishable scholarship.
We work in established, transparent environments—R, Stata, Python, and Mplus among them—matched to the analysis rather than to a house preference. Every analysis is documented with software versions, model specifications, and diagnostic tests so that results are fully reproducible and defensible under peer review.
Yes. Confidentiality is the default. Engagements begin with a non-disclosure agreement, data is transferred and stored securely, and unpublished ideas, datasets, and results are never shared or reused. Analysis workflows are documented for your audit and reproducibility, not for redistribution.
Yes. Our Journal Finder lets you search Scopus-indexed Q1 and Q2 journals across economics, finance, and management by subject category, quartile, and scope. For a closer match, our Journal-Fit Analysis reviews your manuscript against a journal's aims, methods, and recent output before you submit.
