Research and Publishing in Neurosurgery

by Yücel Kanpolat (Editor)

Overview

"Research” and "Publishing” are phrases familiar to all neurosurgeons and neuroscientists. Many young neurosurgeons struggle with them on a trial-and-error basis at first, and there are not structured education programs providing information on standard methods. The European Association of Neurosurgical Societies Research Committee has developed a course on research and publication methods for residents in neurosurgery who have not yet completed training. This supplement includes selected contributions from this course and will serve as an essential handbook providing basic tools to guide research and publication work, presenting time-saving advice, and resulting in the most beneficial contributions in experimental and clinical research.

Editorial Reviews

"... this book is a nice source for neuroscientists with an interest in clinical and experimental research. It is a unique collection of chapters which provide the basic tools for young neurosurgeons and researchers in the field of neurosurgery and neuroscience." Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery - Volume 106, issue 4, 9/2004

From the Publisher

Reviewer: Celso Agner, MD, MS, MSc (Michigan Neurology Partners)
Description: Research in any field is crucial for the dissemination of important information as well as for self-development in that field. It is, however, necessary to address research as a topic of review.
Purpose: The purpose is to address different aspects of research, starting with the selection of topics that will further be approached in publications. Those are worthy objectives in a specialty with increasing complexity such as neurosurgery. The authors meet their objectives.
Audience: The audience for this book is mostly composed of neurosurgeons and researchers involved in neurosurgery. The authors are credible authorities.
Features: The 27 authors contribute 20 chapters. The book starts by defining multiple kinds of neurosurgical research, including function-related, descriptive, and basic science-related. It continues with descriptions of different animal models of neurosurgical research, in particular in head injury and other conditions seen in daily neurosurgical practice.
Assessment: This book is an important acquisition for any neurosurgical library. The contents will equally benefit neurosurgeons and neurosurgical researchers.
