Research Methodology Simplified: Every Clinician a Researcher

by Mahendra N Parikh, Joydev Mukherjee, Avijit Hazra, Nithya Gogtay

The elaborate chapters in Research Methodology Simplified: Every Clinician a Researcher are so vividly presented in correct and appropriate sequence that I am sure that readers will certainly be benefited in a big way. The difficult and the least understood chapter on medical statistics has been depicted in such a simplified manner so as to facilitate the thesis work and dissertation particularly for the postgraduates. The book has many pluses. The language has been kept simple throughout and thus is not unnerving. Each of the twenty-five chapters is further subdivided into independent sections, each of which can be read without loss of continuity and thus at no point you feel like skipping a chapter. The chapter on biostatistics is particularly well presented and hopefully will motivate students not to skip the statistics section in peer reviewed publications. Chapters on Misdeeds in Research, Thesis Writing and Presentation at Conferences and Meetings are especially useful as these are nowhere addressed in the current postgraduate curriculum or in other standard books on research methodology. Even if some of you after reading this book are motivated to write papers, present at conferences, apply for funding and simply appreciate statistics meaningfully, the book would have served its purpose. The book is a humble effort to cater to the multiple needs of students—both undergraduate and postgraduate, teachers—both senior and junior, researchers, clinicians across all medical specialties, health care providers, medical administrators, policy makers.
