Our students repeatedly commented that using the Idea Puzzle software contributed significantly to their understanding of the meaning of the multiple and interrelated dimensions of the research project process. In addition, they applauded the functionality of having an automatic evaluation of their input into each section/piece of the triangle — allowing them to control the development of the project design, as well as to decide which points they should invest more time into to build the final “puzzle” (i.e., visual representation) of their research project.

Maria João Gouveia won the 1st place in the 2014 national competition for a doctoral grant in Psychology by the Portuguese Science and Technology Foundation. Her research design was graded 4,975 in 5 (99%). I also supervised Maria João Gouveia during the process of using the Idea Puzzle software and could witness its relevance to clarify several aspects of her research design.

I feel that if I would have known the Idea Puzzle software early in my PhD, I could have saved myself a lot of wasted time and avoided several 'dead ends'. In 2021, I received the Flinders University Vice Chancellor’s Medal for PhD Thesis Excellence.
Leonardo La Rosa, Idea Puzzle Prize Co-Winner 2017, Media Research, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain
The Idea Puzzle software helped me shorten the parts of my research project which were overdeveloped such as the literature review and focus my efforts on those which were underdeveloped such as the methodology and sample. After winning the Idea Puzzle Prize, I won an Outstanding Thesis Award at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid.

When delivering the final version of my doctoral thesis, I remembered the Idea Puzzle software again. This tool helped me a lot to think through my research design and awoke my interest in Philosophy of Science. The awareness and knowledge of philosophical assumptions proved crucial to make my research more coherent and robust.

Thank you for introducing us to your Idea Puzzle framework. It is valuable at various points of the project - I wish I would have come across it earlier in my research. Additionally, I found it very impressive how quickly you were able to grasp the frame and details of the participants’ doctoral dissertations while also providing live feedback on the spot.
