Emphasis is on common sense as the main ingredient of good science.

 A great buy September 15, 2008
Andres Maturana (Santiago Chile)
An excellent book. I would say it is a must for anyone involved in clinical research. Useful both for experts and beginners.
Better than previous edition May 15, 2008
Carmen Dimare Hering
I am a declared fan of this book. I teach on how to do research to med students and this book is very straight forward and practical.
I believe that this book is a must for physicians that want to do research and have no time to learn everything. It is designed for everyone to pose their research question, select the design (which I believe is the right way to do research)(first 6 chapters) and then read the chapters about the selected design. It has additional chapters about searching funds(seldom included in research books) and ethical issues. My favorite chapters are the first two for beginners with no research experience (research question), the fifth (hypothesis) and the sixth (sample size), and the questionnaire chapter. The questionnaire chapter is a masterpiece, it teaches about difficult subjects in a practical and very easy way for physicians to understand. I have let away most of my books about questionnaires aside with this chapter (for physicians, for research specialties you might go to other books). And in this new edition the data management chapter has included the use of software for data analysis.
I hope the Spanish version of this 3rd edition will be available soon.

This is a really great book. It is well written and seems easy to follow. IT was required for my Intro to Research class. It will be helpful as well in the development of my capstone/research project for graduaiton.
