Computers are essential tools for medical research, communication and management. Informed choices require a basic knowledge of computers. Many doctors have, however, been frustrated by unnecessary jargon.

Background: Research is a systematic process utilizing the scientific method for generating new knowledge that can be used to solve a problem or improving the existing status of a system. Human being is living a life of ease due to research in medical field. But it is important to know that whether those who are closest to society like resident doctors are involved in research process or not. Thus, the present study is planned to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of resident doctors in a tertiary care hospital.Methods: This was the questionnaire-based study conducted among the resident doctors. Sample size calculated was 110 by open Epi software. A self-structured questionnaire was validated and distributed. Then we collected the data which was analysed using statistical analysis with MS excel and SPSS software version 21.Results: The 62% response rate was achieved. More than 50% of the resident doctors have the knowledge of p value and protocol writing. 63% students are strongly agreed that research in medical field is important while only 19% students are strongly disagreed that research increases burden over students 17% of the students have presented research paper. More than 75% student told that there are many barriers conducting research.Conclusions: This study demonstrates that more than 50% respondents have the basic knowledge about the medical research and they have the positive attitude too. But there is lack of the practices regarding research. Thus, there should be some efforts to improve practices of medical research among resident doctors.

The article describes methods of statistical analysis that a physician needs to know in order to conduct medical research. Involvement of internists in training and use of statistical methods of processing and planning will improve their orientation in a variety of existing statistical methods of data processing, as well as will help to understand the importance and relevance of using statistics in medical research in order to create competent, personalized approaches to a patient.

When the transmission electron microscope was commercially introduced a few years ago, it was heralded as one of the most significant aids to medical research of the century. It continues to occupy that niche; however, the scanning electron microscope is gaining rapidly in relative importance as it fills the gap between conventional optical microscopy and transmission electron microscopy.IBM Boulder is conducting three major programs in cooperation with the Colorado School of Medicine. These are the study of the mechanism of failure of the prosthetic heart valve, the study of the ultrastructure of lung tissue, and the definition of the function of the cilia of the ventricular ependyma of the brain.

From this issue, Clinical Science will increase its page numbers from an average of 112 to 128 per monthly issue. This welcome change — equivalent to at least two manuscripts — has been ‘forced’ on us by the increasing pressure on space; this has led to an undesirable increase in the delay between acceptance and publication, and to a fall in the proportion of submitted manuscripts we have been able to accept. The change in page numbers will instead permit us now to return to our exceptionally short interval between acceptance and publication of 3–4 months; and at the same time we shall be able not only to accept (as now) those papers requiring little or no revision, but also to offer hope to some of those papers which have raised our interest but come to grief in review because of a major but remediable problem. Our view, doubtless unoriginal, has been that the review process, which is unusually thorough for Clinical Science, involving a specialist editor and two external referees, is most constructive when it helps the evolution of a good paper from an interesting piece of research. Traditionally, the papers in Clinical Science have represented some areas of research more than others. However, this has reflected entirely the pattern of papers submitted to us, rather than any selective interest of the Editorial Board, which numbers up to 35 scientists covering most areas of medical research. Arguably, after the explosion during the last decade of specialist journals, the general journal can look forward to a renaissance in the 1990s, as scientists in apparently different specialities discover that they are interested in the same substances, asking similar questions and developing techniques of mutual benefit to answer these questions. This situation arises from the trend, even among clinical scientists, to recognize the power of research based at the cellular and molecular level to achieve real progress, and at this level the concept of organ-based specialism breaks down. It is perhaps ironic that this journal, for a short while at the end of the 1970s, adopted — and then discarded — the name of Clinical Science and Molecular Medicine, since this title perfectly represents the direction in which clinical science, and therefore Clinical Science, is now progressing.
