Examples of research requests:

• Marketing companies want to help clients deliver a new but precise message: "We don't have a scientist on staff, but a client wants us to develop a marketing strategy based on the eco-friendly side of his product." ABS Research will deliver a report with the information needed to make a claim for your client. Our report is based on sound research from reputable peer-reviewed journals, magazines, and/ or government reports.

• Non science journalists need general science research services to complete assignments: "I'm including a section on the effects of beach renourishment in my article about the decreasing tourism activity in the area. I don't have the time to dig into the subject but need the latest opinions on the matter." ABS Research will dedicate the contracted time to reach area-specific experts on the subject and comb the literature for the latest opinions on the practice of beach renourishment. The delivered report will include all the information as well as the sources consulted during the research.

We research for information available through databases that encompass a wide range of publications world-wide. Databases include peer-reviewed journals, "gray" literature (government reports, agencies' statistics, etc), magazines, newspapers, books, and consumer reports.
