Frequently Asked Questions

What is a conceptual framework and how does ScholarForge generate one?

A conceptual framework shows the relationships between the key variables in your study — typically showing independent variables, mediating factors, and outcomes with directional arrows. ScholarForge generates the framework diagram and a written explanation based on your research topic, objectives, and theoretical basis.

Which theoretical frameworks does ScholarForge support?

ScholarForge generates frameworks based on Health Belief Model (HBM), Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), Socio-Ecological Model, RE-AIM Framework, Donabedian Model, and other theories commonly applied in African health research. You can also specify a custom framework.

Can ScholarForge help formulate PICO research questions?

Yes. Enter your study topic and ScholarForge generates well-structured PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) or PICOS questions suitable for systematic reviews, RCTs, and observational studies.

Does ScholarForge generate specific and measurable objectives?

Yes. ScholarForge generates a General Objective and 3–5 Specific Objectives using appropriate action verbs (To assess, To determine, To compare, To evaluate) — aligned with your research question and measurable with your chosen study design.

How does the framework help with my research proposal?

The conceptual framework generated by ScholarForge integrates directly with the Proposal Writer module. The framework diagram, operational definitions, and theoretical justification are automatically included in Chapter 3 of your research proposal.
