Sotto — Editions

Two editions. One research standard.

The same core capabilities, packaged for where you are in your research career. Both editions run in your own private environment. Both are built around one principle: your research data stays in an environment you control.

Editions

Sotto Scholar

sotto scholar

For faculty researchers and independent academics who need the full research system across multiple studies — not just a dissertation workflow.

Built for Faculty researchers, postdoctoral scholars, and independent academics managing active research programs across multiple studies and publication workflows.
Manuscript and article-oriented structure — organized around publications, not project stages
Multi-project corpus management — keep research programs cleanly separated
Optional reflexivity and positionality gates — configurable to your methodology
Literature integration across multiple studies and publication venues
IRB protocol documentation support for ongoing and amended protocols
What's different: Reflexivity and memo workflows are optional — turn on the ones that fit your methodology, turn off the ones that don't. Organized around manuscripts and publications rather than a single project timeline.

Sotto Student

sotto student

For doctoral candidates who need the complete research system — qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods — organized around the arc of a single dissertation.

Built for EdD and PhD candidates conducting original research, managing a dissertation committee process, and working through a single sustained research project.
Dissertation chapter structure — organized around your proposal, literature review, methods, findings, and discussion
Mandatory reflexivity workflows — built into the research process, not optional
Committee feedback integration — bring in revision notes and track responses
Positionality and memo tracking across the full data collection arc
Research documentation ready for committee review — methodology, data handling, and audit trail in one place
What's different: Reflexivity isn't a feature you configure — it's part of the workflow. The dissertation chapter structure keeps your whole project oriented around the arc from proposal to final defense.
