DiscoverNithya Gogtay, MD, DNB, Ph.D, FRCPBook Review: How to Write the Thesis andThesis Protocol: A Primer for Medical,Dental and Nursing CoursesThe book on “How to write the thesis andthesis protocol” by Drs Piyush Gupta andNavjeevan Singh is an important addition tothe existing books for postgraduates. Itsrepertoire is wide and ranges from technicalaspects of writing a protocol or thesis to nontechnical ones such as relationships betweenthe student and the teacher that canchallenge and affect both. The latter chapter Ithought was rather well written.As I went through the 26 chapters, I wasimpressed both by the depth of informationas also the simplicity with which they werewritten. The strength of the book lies in itsclarity of thought and analogy based teachingAdditional Professor, Clinical PharmacologySeth GS Medical College & King Edward Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, IndiaCorresponding Author:Dr. Nithya GogtayAdditional Professor, Clinical PharmacologySeth GS Medical College & King Edward Memorial Hospital, Mumbai 400012, Indiaemail: nithyagogtay at kem dot eduCite this article as: Gogtay N. Book Review: How to Write the Thesis and Thesis Protocol: A Primer forMedical, Dental and Nursing Courses. RHiME [Internet]. 2014;1:31-32.Received: 16-SEP-2014 Accepted: 04-OCT-2014 Published Online: 07-OCT-2014www.rhime.in 31Editors:Piyush Gupta, MD FAMS FIAPNavjeevan Singh, MDJaypee Brothers Medical Publishers (P)Ltd., New Delhi 2014. 183pp.Price: Rs. 295with every chapter having examples toexplain concepts. These examples relate toboth the real world and the field ofmedicine.I tried hard to look for deficits in the book,but found very little. Perhaps the meta-analysis and the systematic reviews sectioncould have been expanded as a lot ofliterature that leads to evidence comes fromthese. I also thought that the concepts ofrisk, odds and probability could have beendealt with in a little more detail. This havingbeen said, the book is an excellentcompanion for medical, dental and nursingstudents who should use it while preparingand submitting their thesis as a lot in thebook is not just information, but a synthesisof information with the authors’ experience.This book will help students make goodquality protocols and subsequently submitgood quality thesis. It is also a must forlibrarians.www.rhime.in 32
