Research with ARCH

Academy of Research in Clinical & Health Sciences

Your partner in research

We teach the methodology. You produce the research. Together, we get you published.

High-impact publications aren't luck. They're the result of disciplined research, done right.

Methodology Is Everything

We don't complete work quickly at the cost of methodological soundness. Every workshop and research project at ARCH is held to the highest international standards. We invest our time ensuring your research question is answered with a design that can withstand scrutiny.

Built on International Reporting Standards

Every project follows the mandatory guideline for its study type. PRISMA 2020 and the Cochrane Handbook for systematic reviews, CONSORT for trials, STROBE for observational studies and more. No exceptions, no shortcuts.

Four Non-Negotiable Principles

Honesty, transparency, reproducibility, and rigor guide every project we touch. Data is reported exactly as it is — never as we wish it to be. Methods, limitations, and conflicts of interest are always disclosed in full.

Quality Checked at Every Milestone

Every mentorship project passes through our Quality Improvement Cell (QIC) at key milestones, from protocol approval to manuscript review, ensuring the highest standards of scientific quality. Nothing advances to the next stage until it meets our standard.

WHY WORK WITH US

Why Researchers Choose ARCH

ARCH isn't a ghost-writing service or a publication guarantee mill — we mentor you to produce your own internationally publishable work, built on a foundation of real methodological training and hands-on guidance from concept to submission.

You Own Your Research

Every submission, revision, and journal correspondence is carried out by you — the mentee — under expert guidance. Your name on a paper reflects your genuine contribution, not someone else's work.

Mentors Who've Actually Published

Every ARCH Mentor completes our Internal Mentor Training Module before guiding a single project. You're learning from people who've done it.

Hear From Those Who've Been Through It

Before ARCH, I honestly didn’t even know what PRISMA was. Six months later, I had my first co-authored systematic review submitted to a PubMed-indexed journal. What I appreciated most was that the mentorship wasn’t just about getting a paper done. It was about actually understanding how to do the work properly.

— Dr. Ayesha M., Mentorship Program Alumna

What stood out to me was how hands-on it was. My mentor didn’t just give feedback, they actually walked us through the whole process, from screening to understanding why we were doing each step. I feel like I truly own that paper because I did the work myself, with someone there to guide me when I needed it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ARCH?

ARCH is a structured research education and mentorship platform dedicated to training the health sciences researchers. We help medical students, junior doctors, and early-career health professionals develop the skills to design, conduct, and publish high-quality clinical research.

What does we offer?

ARCH offers structured research education and hands-on mentorship designed to take you from learning research methodology to producing your own publishable work.

Does ARCH guarantee publication for us?

Publication is the goal of every ARCH research project, but no ethical research program can guarantee publication upfront. We provide the training, mentorship, and guidance needed to give your work the best possible chance of being published.

Does ARCH do the research or writing for me?

No. ARCH is not a ghost-writing service or publication guarantee mill. We teach and mentor you through every stage of the research process, while you do the actual research, writing, submission, and journal correspondence yourself.

Every mentor holds a strong publication record and completes our dedicated Internal Mentor Training Module before becoming eligible to lead a group. Mentorship at ARCH is led by people who've actually done the work themselves.

Does ARCH offer recruitment, and at what levels?

Yes. ARCH recruits on a need- and performance-based basis for Cabinet positions and Research Assistant roles. Anyone can also contribute to the ARCH Blog by submitting research-related content.

Does ARCH provide certificates for workshops and research work?

Yes. We issue certificates for both participation and completed work, based on credit hours, so each certificate accurately reflects the amount and quality of effort behind it.
