Abstract

Keeping in view of the need of quality evidence for public health care/ clinical practice, along with focus on adopting a culture of strong morality at every level of a research work, it is needed to follow each of the major steps required under research methodology for a clinical study. Accordingly the aim of the present write-up is to briefly list major steps under research methodology so that a reader can easily be aware about them at a glance, and choose and follow all relevant/ applicable steps in their clinical study. If feasible, except two steps (sample size & scales of measurements) which are already published in earlier issues of this journal, each of the remaining major steps may be elaborated separately and published in the ensuing issues of the journal.
