This book on Research methodology is specially written for Ayurvedic Post-Graduate Students, keeping in view the CCIM syllabus in a scholar-friendly manner. Apart from prescribed topics a few additional relevant topics like, the role of placebo in clinical practice, how to write research papers and abstracts etc are included, to make the work a comprehensive one.
