Beschreibung
This is an open access book. This book understands the gap that a lot of research is taking place in the developing world, but is still not documented well. One reason for this is the lack of understanding and application of documentation of research in the developing world. This book fills this gap. It provides an overview of the state of research in developing countries - Africa, Latin America, and Asia (especially India) and why research and publication are important in these regions. It also provides an insight into when should research start, should it be at the undergraduate or postgraduate level, how to enunciate research ethics and other research concerns such as conducting clinical trials in India, quality of third world journals, and Indian medical journals. It also serves as a guide towards establishing a research methodology and teaches important concepts such as writing a paper, submitting a paper, how to deal with rejection and request for revision, and covers many such important topics. It would be a valuable read for graduates, postgraduates, and teachers as well as physicians and practitioners associated with medical research.
