As an enthusiast for (dental) practice-based research, I was delighted to receive a copy of this book. The principal authors have a background steeped in research, so they, plus their eight contributing authors, are ideally placed to provide a wealth of information on the subject of clinical research.
The first chapter, rightly, justifies the need for practice-based research and the subsequent circa 300 pages of the book outline the stages of a research project. Chapter 2 is a logical follow up, by stating ‘before taking part in research, it is essential to understand the principles of evidence-based practice and how to critically appraise the literature’, while chapter 3 covers literature searching in depth. This reviewer suggests that these two chapters (2 and 3) make essential reading for any Masters student, be it a Masters by research or a ‘taught’ degree course.
Chapters 4–11 are dedicated to the various forms of research study design, qualitative, quantitative, systematic reviews, and so forth.
