Great guide and fun to read

A little dated - the section on punchcard computers certainly is no longer relevant - but fun to read and full of excellent advice. It has definitely helped me be a better experimentalist.

An Introduction to Scientific Research by E. Bright Wilson

The best and the most practical book I have ever seen about general aspects of carrying out scientific research. Author logically starts with choosing a topic for ones research project and ends with article publication. Though author discusses mostly experimental aspects of a research work, I have found it applicable for the field of computer simulations as well. I also have successfully used this book for designing and teaching undergraduate physics labs. It is an endless source of examples. Some material, such as data and error analysis, can be even ``incorporated'' as a part of regular lab manuals.

review on An Introduction to scientific research

After reading this book I came to the conclusion that researchers and scientists should read this book once to conduct efficient research. This book can also help new researchers, who are planning to start research. This book is mainly based on Professor Wilson's experiences during his entire research carrier. It can be helpful to all researchers in all fields. It contains real illustration, which can occur during, before or after conducting research. The language of this book is really simple. Any one who has done scientific research at the Graduate or Post-Graduate level will be grateful for this eternal Introduction to Scientific Research. The book presents much sensible advice. Topics include: Choice and Statement of Research Problem, Searching the Literature, Scientific Method in detail, Design of Experiments, Design of Apparatus, Execution of Experiments, Analysis of Experimental Data and error Analysis. The part on computer use is out dated, but otherwise the book is one of the best of the few references on the subject of Scientific Research.
