ABOUT US

ID Research&Consultancy is the international research and consultancy brand of İstatistik Dünyası, a Türkiye-based research company established in 2010.

Founded first as İstatistik Dünyası, the organization has built more than 15 years of experience in statistical research, survey methodology, advanced sampling, nationwide fieldwork, data quality assurance and statistical analysis. Building on this institutional experience, ID Research&Consultancy was launched as the internationally oriented research and consultancy brand of İstatistik Dünyası, extending its expertise, partnerships and project capabilities to an increasingly international environment.

Today, ID Research&Consultancy combines the accumulated experience of İstatistik Dünyası with a broader international perspective. We provide research, fieldwork and consultancy services to international organizations, development institutions, public authorities, universities, research organizations, consulting firms and private-sector partners.

Our capabilities cover the entire research lifecycle—from research design, advanced sampling and weighting, CAPI/CATI/CAWI data collection and qualitative research to nationwide field operations, QA/QC, data management, statistical analysis, monitoring & evaluation and reporting.

We approach every assignment with the same fundamental principles: scientific rigor, methodological integrity, independence, confidentiality and reliable evidence.

OUR FOUNDATION & LEADERSHIP

Ahmet GÜL

Founder & General Manager | Statistician & Sampling Expert

The institutional foundations of İstatistik Dünyası and ID Research&Consultancy were established by Ahmet Gül, a statistician and research professional with more than two decades of experience in survey methodology, sampling design and large-scale field research.

Prior to establishing İstatistik Dünyası, he developed extensive professional expertise within the Sampling Unit of the Turkish Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT). This background has shaped the methodological philosophy that remains at the core of ID Research&Consultancy today: scientific rigor, representative sampling, reliable field implementation, strong quality control and evidence-based research.

Under his leadership, the organization has contributed to major research assignments associated with leading international organizations and development institutions, including the World Bank, World Health Organization (WHO), UNICEF, International Labour Organization (ILO), UN Women and UNDP, while building extensive nationwide research and fieldwork capacity across Türkiye.

Today, this institutional experience provides the foundation for ID Research&Consultancy’s expanding international partnerships and its ambition to serve as a trusted research, fieldwork and evidence partner in Türkiye and beyond.

MISSION

Our mission is to transform reliable data into meaningful evidence through scientifically rigorous research, robust statistical methodology and high-quality field implementation, providing decision-makers with accurate, objective and actionable insights.

VISION

Our vision is to be a trusted research and fieldwork partner for national and international organizations, combining scientific expertise, advanced technology and strong operational capacity to deliver reliable evidence across Türkiye and beyond.

We aim to contribute to better policies, stronger institutions and evidence-based decision-making while maintaining the highest standards of ethics, privacy, independence and methodological quality.

CORPORATE INFRASTRUCTURE

ID Research&Consultancy combines methodological expertise, nationwide operational capacity and technology-driven research management within an integrated research infrastructure.

Our fieldwork capacity enables us to organize and manage research operations across all 81 provinces of Türkiye, supported by experienced field teams, supervisors and centralized quality-control mechanisms.

Our research infrastructure supports CAPI (Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing), CATI (Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing) and CAWI (Computer-Assisted Web Interviewing) methodologies, as well as qualitative research methods including focus groups and in-depth interviews.

Our capabilities extend beyond data collection. We provide integrated support for sampling design, weighting, field coordination, real-time monitoring, data management, statistical analysis, impact evaluation, monitoring & evaluation (M&E), quality assurance and reporting.

Through continuous investment in our expert network, technological infrastructure and research management systems, we are able to respond rapidly to complex, large-scale and geographically dispersed research assignments.

COMMITMENT TO QUALITY & RELIABILITY

Reliable evidence begins with reliable data.

At ID Research&Consultancy, quality assurance is therefore integrated into every stage of the research process—from questionnaire design and sampling to interviewer training, field implementation, data validation, statistical analysis and final reporting.

Our approach combines scientific methodology, standardized field procedures, real-time monitoring and multi-layer quality-control mechanisms to ensure that the information delivered to our clients is accurate, transparent and fit for purpose.

Our structural quality framework is based on:

• Professional ethics and scientific integrity
• Objective and independent research
• Advanced sampling and methodological expertise
• Experienced field teams and supervisors
• Standardized data-collection procedures
• Digital and real-time field monitoring
• Multi-layer QA/QC procedures
• Statistical validation and data-quality audits
• Protection of personal data and statistical confidentiality

OUR BASIC PRINCIPLES

Privacy & Data Protection

Confidentiality is fundamental to every assignment undertaken by ID Research&Consultancy. Project data, respondent information, field records and research outputs are used solely for the purposes defined by the client and the respective research protocol.

Our data-management processes are designed in accordance with applicable privacy requirements, including Türkiye’s Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK), and, where required by the assignment, relevant international data-protection standards.

Transparency

Our methodologies are grounded in recognized statistical and scientific principles. Research design, sampling procedures, field implementation, quality-control mechanisms, analytical methods and methodological limitations are documented transparently throughout the research process.

Through IDOL, ID Research&Consultancy’s research monitoring infrastructure, project processes can be monitored from digital data collection and field implementation through quality control and completion, providing enhanced operational transparency.

Human Capital

Our projects are managed by multidisciplinary teams led by experienced statisticians, research professionals and technology specialists, supported according to project requirements by sociologists, economists, psychologists, public-health specialists, academics, sector experts and other professionals.

Our academic and professional advisory network further strengthens our ability to respond to multidisciplinary and technically complex assignments.

OUR DIFFERENCE

What differentiates ID Research&Consultancy is the integration of methodological expertise with real-world implementation capacity.

We do not view research design, sampling, fieldwork, quality control and statistical analysis as separate processes. They form a single evidence-generation system.

Our key strengths include:

• More than 15 years of institutional research experience
• More than two decades of founder-level expertise in statistics and sampling
• Nationwide fieldwork capacity across all 81 provinces of Türkiye
• Advanced sampling, weighting and survey methodology expertise
• Large-scale quantitative and qualitative research capacity
• CAPI, CATI and CAWI data-collection infrastructure
• Strong QA/QC and real-time field monitoring
• Multidisciplinary academic and professional advisory capacity
• Experience with major international organizations and development institutions
• Ability to participate in national and international projects as a research, fieldwork, technical or consortium partner

Our objective is not simply to collect data, but to produce reliable evidence that supports better decisions.

TÜRKİYE & BEYOND

Our roots and operational strength are in Türkiye, while our perspective is international.

Building on the experience accumulated through İstatistik Dünyası, ID Research&Consultancy is expanding its international research partnerships and regional collaboration network, with a particular focus on cooperation with international organizations, research and consulting firms, universities, development institutions and multidisciplinary consortiums.

We are ready to contribute to international assignments as a research partner, fieldwork partner, technical partner, subcontractor or consortium member, combining international research standards with strong local knowledge and implementation capacity.
