Organize studies in a research project
Group studies around one research question while preserving each study’s own responses and permissions.
Before you start
Research projects is available only to enabled accounts and teams. If you do not see it, contact support to check access. Create a study first if you want to link existing work.
Steps
Create a project
Open Research projects → New project. Enter a project name and, optionally, the research question. Choose Create project. New projects start private to you.Link existing studies
Use Add to project from a study, or the project’s Add menu to link a QuestionPunk study you can open. Select the destination project and confirm. Linking creates a reference; it does not copy responses.Set each source’s role
In Sources, distinguish Evidence, Context and Both. Use evidence for material that answers the research question and context for background. AI simulations stay separate and are never counted as people.Review the project
Use Overview for the research question and source counts, Sources to open and manage linked studies, and Recordings to import and review transcripts. Response counts are records, not a deduplicated total of unique participants.Keep access and archive behavior clear
Project sharing does not replace each linked study’s permissions. Someone without access to a study cannot read it through the project. Archiving makes the project read-only and moves it to Archived; linked studies stay intact. Restore the project to make it active again.
Details and limitations
Use one research question to keep the project focused. Source roles affect how evidence is organized and counted; they do not turn simulated answers into human evidence.
Check the result
Your project links the relevant sources and clearly separates human evidence, background context and simulations.
If something goes wrong
If a source is restricted, ask its owner for access to the study itself. Unlink removes a source from the project without deleting the study or its responses. If controls are unavailable, check whether you have edit access and whether the project is archived.
