As 2025 drew to a close, members of IYEV and Psychtrix Initiative Limited convened for a reflective end-of-year meeting focused on progress, impact, and future direction. A central highlight of the gathering was the recognition of Enoch O. Oladunmoye for his outstanding contributions to research innovation through the development of PsychtrixWeb and QUALIVERS.
Driving Research Transformation Through Technology
Participants at the meeting reflected on how 2025 became a defining year for the Psychtrix ecosystem. Two major platforms stood out as milestones:
- PsychtrixWeb, designed to strengthen quantitative and psychometric research, has enabled researchers to conduct advanced analyses—ranging from reliability and validity testing to factor analysis, SEM, PLS-SEM, and adaptive testing—within an accessible and structured environment.
- QUALIVERS, launched as an advanced AI-assisted qualitative analysis platform, introduced a new way of conducting thematic analysis, grounded theory, sentiment analysis, visualization, and qualitative reporting, all while maintaining human oversight and methodological rigor.
Together, these platforms were acknowledged as complementary tools addressing long-standing challenges in global research practice by integrating rigor, scalability, and accessibility.
Recognition at the End-of-Year Meeting
During the meeting, members of both organisations emphasized that Associate Professor Oladunmoye’s work represents more than software development. His efforts were praised for:
- Translating complex research theory into practical digital tools
- Expanding access to advanced research methods for students and professionals
- Embedding ethical, transparent approaches to AI-assisted analysis
- Showcasing African-led innovation on a global research stage
The discussion highlighted how these contributions have positively influenced teaching, supervision, collaborative research, and publication quality throughout the year.
Why 2025 Was a Milestone Year
Both IYEV and Psychtrix Initiative formally described 2025 as a year of achievement and consolidation, noting:
- The successful rollout and growing adoption of PsychtrixWeb
- The international introduction of QUALIVERS as a future-ready qualitative platform
- Increased training, demonstrations, and academic engagement
- Rising interest from researchers and institutions beyond national borders
Collectively, these outcomes reinforced confidence in the organisations’ shared vision for research innovation.
Looking Forward to 2026: Collaboration and Growth
With a strong foundation established, both organisations expressed optimism for 2026. Plans were outlined to pursue broader collaborations with universities, research institutions, journals, NGOs, and technology partners, with the aim of co-creating new research solutions and expanding global impact.
The outlook for the coming year centres on collaboration, experimentation, and scaling innovation—building on the momentum of 2025 to achieve even greater research “exploits” in 2026.
A Shared Vision for the Future of Research
The recognition of Associate Professor Enoch Oladunmoye symbolised a broader commitment shared by IYEV and Psychtrix Initiative: advancing research through thoughtful innovation, collaboration, and academic integrity.
As both organisations prepare for the year ahead, they reaffirm their dedication to supporting researchers worldwide through platforms like PsychtrixWeb and QUALIVERS, and to shaping the future of global research practice together.
