Which book do I need?
Twenty-six books is too many to browse. Find the line below that sounds like your week and start there. Each answer names the one or two books that do that specific job — not the whole series.
I have to pick a research design and do not know where to start
Start with the design guide, then the workbook that makes you write the choice down.
I am drowning in papers and my literature review has no shape
One book for the method, one workbook for the extraction, one for a deadline.
I need to run a systematic review or meta-analysis
Protocol first, then the synthesis. The healthcare edition if your evidence is clinical.
I am about to interview people and have never done it
Protocol design and recruitment first. Coding comes after the data exists.
I have transcripts and no idea how to code them
The coding workbook for the process; the AI book if you want software help with it.
I do not know which statistical test applies to my data
The decision trees, plus the assumption checks that stop a reviewer sending it back.
I have to write a proposal or protocol that gets approved
The proposal book for academic work; the protocol workbook if it is a trial.
I have been told to do an audit or a QI project
One integrated cycle, from a ward problem to a signed-off portfolio entry.
My programme requires an evidence-based practice project
PICO to implemented change, using the appraisal models you are examined on.
I have a case worth reporting and have never written one
Consent and de-identification before drafting, then CARE, then the journal.
Something works but nobody is doing it
Diagnose with CFIR, match ERIC strategies, measure with RE-AIM.
I need to turn finished work into a published paper
The writing mechanics first, then the submission itself.
