Foreword Research Methodology and Medical Statistics is an important tool to keep a check on the research projects undertaken in medical field. Ayurvedic principle and medicines should also be time tested and confirm by application of these tools. World wide acceptance to Ayurveda is only possible after sound research with the help of modern research techniques; hence knowledge of research and statistics is important to every research student.

I appreciate the efforts of Dr. Piyush Gupta, Dr. Sandeep Charak and Dr. Julee Mathur for writing a book on the "Basics of Research Methodology and Medical Statistics for Ayurveda Scholars" in accordance with the syllabus as prescribed by CCIM. The vast and complicated part of research and statistics is made easier and has been presented with ample illustrations and Ayurvedic example wherever possible. This book is beneficial to BAMS, M.D. (Ayu.), M. S. (Ayu.) students to understand the basics of research methodology and medical statistics.

Preface This book has been written on the basis of CCIM's syllabus of "Research Methodology and Medical Statistics" for Ayurvedic post-graduate research scholars.

We also provide 400+ objective questions for Ph.D. (Ayu.) entrance examination as well as 5 paper of previous Ph.D. entrance examinations and CCRS examination.
