Synopsis

This book provides an introduction to the basic principles of biomedical research, outlining the organizational techniques and practical skills required to design, implement, and complete a research project. The authors offer advice on interview technique, how to assess a research department and the research programme it offers, and the expectations of the student, supervisor, and co-workers.
The various stages of a research project are examined, with advice on ethical and safety considerations, searching the literature, experimental design, statistical analysis, and the use of computers. The technical skills required to deliver posters and papers to fellow scientists and to prepare appropriate slides and visual aids are presented, together with the skills required to prepare and review grant applications, articles, and theses for publication.

Review:

`many could benefit indirectly, and animal welfare could be significantly enhanced by the advice contained within this book ... this is a practical book, with advice ranging from determining first authorship on work to be performed before the job is accepted, to filing of references, to proof
correction marks used by journal editors ... This book should be compulsory reading for all new animal researchers.'
Greg Whelan, Laboratory Animals, 30, 1996
