- Publishing integrityCheck a journal
Review identity, registry, indexing-snapshot and clone-alert evidence without an invented legitimacy score.
- Publishing integrityFind candidate journals
Build a literature-neighbour shortlist of journal-type, ISSN-bearing OpenAlex sources for further investigation.
- Publishing integrityLook up a recorded APC
Inspect source-labelled APC and open-access fields recorded in OpenAlex without treating missing data as advice.
- Publishing integrityCheck references and DOIs
Compare reference details with Crossref records and surface recorded corrections or retractions for manual review.
- Publishing integrityTriage an APC invoice
Turn a questionable publication invoice into a factual discrepancy register without issuing a fraud verdict.
- Research designAudit research readiness
Convert eight self-reported evidence-control states into a gap register and next-control plan.
- Research designPlan an SEM sample
Compare three disclosed planning approximations and their limitations before undertaking model-specific power analysis.
- Research designCheck reliability and validity
Calculate alpha, composite reliability and AVE with explicit data checks and non-universal reference markers.
- Institutional readinessMap NAAC evidence
Inventory present, partial and missing records across the legacy seven-criteria structure without generating a score.
- Research planningPlan a PhD timeline
Create a printable milestone plan aligned to the UGC PhD Regulations 2022 timeframes and honest sequencing.
- Research planningTrack research grants
Review ICSSR, ANRF and allied funding calls with every listed opportunity linked to its official source.

Independent perspective
International expansion in progressA growing international advisory network.
Gurjas is informed by honorary, non-executive advisers bringing senior experience across management, finance, research methodology, higher-education governance, innovation ecosystems and public policy.
The board is being progressively expanded to include experienced advisers from additional countries and disciplinary settings—broadening comparative perspective, international reach and understanding of research and policy challenges across jurisdictions.
Multidisciplinary depth
Perspectives are selected to extend the practice across methods, sectors and institutional settings.
International perspective
Expansion across countries strengthens comparative judgement without implying institutional endorsement.
Selective growth
Appointments must add a genuine capability or geographic perspective—not merely a prominent affiliation.
Clear accountability
Scope, methods, confidentiality and delivery remain the responsibility of the Gurjas operating team.
Advisers serve voluntarily and independently. They do not manage Gurjas, approve individual engagements, supervise routine delivery, access confidential client material by default or represent their institutions through the practice.
A disciplined first step
Bring the decision, the evidence gap and the deadline.
Gurjas begins with a bounded diagnostic—not a sales promise. We clarify the decision at stake, inspect what evidence already exists and identify the smallest defensible next step.
- 01
Frame the decision
State the institutional, policy or research question and who must be able to rely on the answer.
- 02
Map the evidence
Separate available records, missing evidence, assumptions and constraints before recommending methods.
- 03
Define a defensible scope
Receive a clear route forward, including boundaries, outputs, ownership and the evidence standard required.
- The decision or submission at stake
- What evidence already exists
- The deadline and review audience
- Any confidentiality or governance constraints
Review the Ethics Charter, inspect the Proof Ledger and use the service guide to confirm fit.
A focused diagnostic is often more valuable than a premature full engagement. Gurjas will say clearly when the evidence, timing or requested outcome is not yet suitable.
Commercial pathways
Four offers. One evidence standard.
Each page states fit, deliverables, client inputs, method, indicative investment and the work we will not do.
See all supporting capabilities →How we work
From research problem to policy-facing evidence.
Discovery & Scoping
We map your research problem, assess data readiness and define exact methodological requirements — with a transparent scope of work.
Methodological Design
The architecture of the study — frameworks, evaluation logic, field instruments and statistical models — before any execution begins.
Execution & Analytics
Rigorous processing, quantitative analysis, qualitative synthesis and triangulation — peer-review standards throughout.
Evidence Delivery
Decision-ready reporting — a NAAC dossier, an impact evaluation or a defence strategy — with limitations made clear.
Ethics & confidentiality
Credibility is the product.
No ghostwriting
Our role is methodological, analytical, advisory and pedagogical — never substitution.
No false guarantees
We never promise publication outcomes, degrees, grades or approvals.
Data discretion
Client materials are confidential and used only for the agreed scope of work.
Evidence-first reporting
Findings are transparent, with limitations and assumptions made clear.
Send the objective, data status, timeline and expected output. We usually respond within two working days.
