Consulting Process

Service

Step 1: Defining Research Scope and Requirements

We begin with an initial meeting to define the research topic, scope, type of materials, budget, and timeline in detail. If needed, we also propose a customized consulting approach tailored to the researcher's goals and background.

Step 2: Literature Search and Analysis

We systematically gather relevant resources using professional databases, academic libraries, and local archives in France. Collected materials are classified and analyzed according to the research objectives and delivered to the researcher as a curated list.

Step 3: Selection of Materials and Table of Contents Delivery

We provide translated tables of contents for some or all of the materials selected by the researcher. If needed, we offer support during the selection process and can accommodate additional requests for resources.

Step 4: Summary Report Preparation and Delivery

We analyze the key content, arguments, and references of the selected materials and prepare a summary report. This report is creatively written based on the consultant's analysis and interpretation, rather than simple translation, and does not infringe on the intellectual property of the original documents. Full-text delivery is restricted; only excerpts allowed under French law for non-commercial use (such as research or education) are provided. During the follow-up meeting, we also guide the researcher on how to locate original text excerpts suitable for citation.

Step 5: Ongoing Research Support and Consultation

We offer further advice and feedback on source interpretation, thesis writing strategies, and reference organization. We can also assist with structuring content for publications or academic presentations.

⚠️The process may vary depending on the researcher’s goals, schedule, and consultation pace.

Service Fee Information

MURECOF's consulting fees are determined based on the scope of research, material complexity, and time required. After the initial consultation to understand your needs and research goals, we provide a customized quote and a breakdown of costs by phase.

All services are transparently carried out within the agreed scope and timeline. If any additional charges are expected, we will inform you clearly in advance.

For long-term projects or recurring research support, a preferential rate may be offered upon agreement.

We also offer a comprehensive support program for student researchers. This includes all core MURECOF services in a cost-effective and time-efficient format, available upon verification of academic affiliation. It is ideal for students working on dissertations or extended research projects.
