Book Cover & Preview Text
For students, trainees, scientists, scholars, investigators and researchers at all levels.
“The more I learn, the less I know”
Purpose of the book:
This book is an effort to compile and answer some of the very basic fundamental questions regarding research. It is an outcome of collaboration between 43 researchers from 11 different countries (Pakistan, India, United States, Iran, United Kingdom, Nepal, Canada, Greece, Poland, Japan and Australia)
According to Descartes, when approaching a difficult problem,1

“Divide a problem into as many parts as necessary to attack it in the best way, and start an analysis by examining the simplest and most easily understood parts before ascending gradually to an understanding of the most complex.” |
Unconsciously, in writing this book about research, we have done just that. We have divided this vast topic of research into basic fundamental questions that come to the mind of a young student, researcher, scholar, investigator, trainee or scientist and have tried to answer those questions in the light of available knowledge and experience in a simple, straightforward and easy to understand way.
Although there is a lot of literature available to answer the queries that come to the mind of a young investigator, the language is often too complex and difficult to understand and thus, aversive. Some of these teaching materials sound more like experts talking to each other.
This book would act as a catalyst in providing useful reviews and guidance related to different aspects of research for students who need to be inducted and recognized as an integral part of the research community.
Who would benefit from this book?
This book is written for students, trainees, scientists, scholars, investigators and researchers at all levels. We all are students in this vast field of research and there is always something new to learn. Through this book we have tried to teach and learn side by side about core issues and fundamental topics like:
