Majority of the so called books on Research Methodology are very difficult to digest, but this book is very easy to digest and presented various facts related to research in a simple and lucid manner so that even a undergraduate student can understand and sensitize various aspects and steps of medical research. 

The work done by the author is really commendable and useful to the homeopathic students, post graduate teachers ,research guides and professionals .

This two books aims at providing basic information to make the conducting of research simple and comprehensive.

An overview of how to conduct research along with various methods of conducting research are listed and briefly explained.

The narrative style used here makes your journey through research designing and organising simple and enjoyable and emphasis laid on the ethical aspects of  human experimentation.

Important ethical guidelines published by WHO, Helsinki declaration, ICMR,CIOMS etc are also included.

He made the biostatistics (a thing undigested to many homoeopaths) so simple  for analyzing and interpreting the data gathered. Included only the essentials biostatistics that are required for a homoeopaths rather than going into  in-depth complicated statistics.

The issue of writing dissertation is elaborately addressed in the book- Dissertation made easy. That book  is highly useful to all postgraduate  students  and PG teachers in homoeopathy since many of the PG teachers and guides are not at all competent in supervising research or drug proving.
