Scientific Method Workflow

1. Observation

Make detailed observations about orchids

Use existing orchid data to identify patterns and interesting phenomena worth investigating.

Start Here
2. Hypothesis

Form testable predictions (H₀ & H₁)

Create null and alternative hypotheses with clear, measurable predictions.

Required
3. Methods

Design research methodology

Plan data collection methods, variables, and statistical analysis approach.

Methods
4. Data Collection

Gather data with filters

Apply filters (genus, region, elevation, wild/cultivated) to collect relevant data.

Data
5. Analysis

Statistical tests (t-test, Mann-Whitney U)

Run Welch's t-test or Mann-Whitney U test to analyze your data.

Statistics
6. Conclusions

Interpret results and limitations

Draw conclusions from your analysis and identify study limitations.

Conclusions
7. Paper Draft

Generate IMRaD format paper

Automatically generate a complete research paper with all sections and references.

Data Caveats Notice

Important: Research findings should account for:

  • Sampling bias in geographic distribution
  • Differences between wild vs. cultivated specimens
  • Seasonal and temporal variations in observations
  • Data quality limitations from various sources
