Essential Guide to Reading Biomedical Papers: Recognising and Interpreting Best Practice

Research Techniques for Biomedical Scientists: A Student’s Guide to Recognizing Best Practice aims to give students insight into the core techniques used in life sciences. Students will learn to quickly determine how, when and why a technique should be used. The book covers the controls that should ideally be present and alerts the reader to common failures and misinterpretations that may evade peer review, and so provides them with the judgment necessary to be properly critical of the findings claimed by research articles.
