How do you build your research framework? (Masters & PhD students)

Hi! I'm Bermet, a researcher and founder building tools for graduate students. I'm trying to understand how Masters and PhD students navigate the hardest part of thesis writing — figuring out your theoretical framework and methodology. This is NOT a sales call. No product pitch. I genuinely want to understand your experience. 4 short voice questions, ~10 minutes. Answer at your own pace, whenever suits you. I'll share a summary of key insights with everyone who participates. Thank you so much — your answers will directly shape what gets built.

Discussion topics (4 questions)

  1. 1Tell me about your thesis or research project — what are you studying and where are you in the process?
  2. 2Think back to when you had to build your theoretical or conceptual framework. Walk me through exactly what happened — what did you do, where did you get stuck, and how long did it take?
  3. 3Have you ever paid for any help with the research process — not writing, but the actual planning: framework, methodology, research design? A tutor, course, tool, anything?
  4. 4If you could fix one thing about how students learn to build a research framework and methodology — what would it be?
