Editorial Reviews

"This book should be bought by anyone having more than just an interest in research and who is involved in commissioning, funding, planning, undertaking or evaluating research. For everyone else, starting off with more generalised texts and using this book for information on specific subject areas would be more appropriate." (Primary Dental Care and Team in Practice, 1 April 2011)
