A RM4Es based researchmap makes conducting research as easy as  implementing a sequence of Es.

A research flow is a collection of all the needed steps (actions) taken by a researcher to reach the goal of a research project. For a quantitative modeling project, a research flow is a series of strategic decisions made by a researcher to move from his/her initially specified model to the final model. With this research flow as a guidance, changing one of its steps will often lead the researcher to a different final model.

A research map is a collection of all the possible research flows for a research project.

A research map can be represented by a DAG (directed cyclic graph) with its node to represent a research status at every stage and with its edge to represent an action of employing certain statistical techniques (a statistical strategy). 

A research map is also a collection of RM4Es with Equation specification -> Estimation -> Errors examination -> Explanation as one basic research flow, that has been used to make research easy.

Examples: Many empirical researchers take a step by step approach, of which all possible implementations produces a research map. 

ResearchMap is one of the best tools for a researcher to deal with equivalent model issues.

ResearchMap can be used to handle statistical strategies. Past experiments show that guided a set of statistical strategies, junior researchers can perform better than in a situation where no guidance available.

ResearchMap is one of the best tools to manage research knowledge, and manage research process.

ResearchMap can be used to optimize research processes, to improve the productivity and accuracy of research organizations.
