The aim of the course is to introduce the basic principles of scientific research to students to enable them to carry out independently all the essential steps at the level required for their thesis as well as other future scientific activities, mainly in the field of healthcare sciences. The course is taught in English. The course ends with an oral exam. Abstract in detail: 1.Basic and applied research. Steps of the research project. 2.Research and search. Ethical aspects of bio-research (informed consent). 3.Clinical trials - types and examples (database ClinicalTrials.gov, EudraCT). 4.Clinical studies - types and examples (case report, case-control, cohort study). 5.Statistical survey - types and examples. 6.Statistical units, population parameters, statistical sample, representativeness. 7.Construction of questionnaire - types of variables (qualitative, quantitative, scales). 8.Interpretation of descriptive characteristics (frequencies, moments, quantiles). 9.Visualization of statistical results (tables, graphs). 10.Principles of statistical testing (research and statistical hypothesis, p-value). 11.Citations versus plagiarism. 12.Scientific journal database on internet (SCOPUS). 13.Impact factor.
