Handbook of Veterinary Clinical Research

This is the first accessible reference on carrying out veterinary clinical research. It is designed for veterinary clinicians, students and researchers who need to learn about research methodology. It covers all the core research methods as well as detailing aspects specific to research in veterinary medicine. Special attention is given to ethical and legal issues, how to maximise the power of studies when faced with small numbers of patients, and how to go about research with few obvious resources to hand.
