Handbook of Health Research: a Life-time Companion Ankur Barua

This is a humble endeavor to motivate and provide first-hand guidance to the new researchers in health care. This book is a simplified version and a ready guide on how to frame and conduct a health research, analyze the data and present the final report in an effective manner. This book is designed as a project report and explains in brief, certain important aspects of research methodology and biostatistics wherever appropriate. This book also provides adequate information on publication in indexed journals. Excluding the literature Review and Annexure, all the remaining portions of the project report of a research could be included in scientific articles for publication. However, we should always remember that Literature Review would hold the key in the case of Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis. Due to paucity of space in most of the indexed journals, researchers are advised to be stringent with the use of language and make an attempt to express the maximum information by using optimum words in their research reports.
