Clinical methods describe the techniques and analyses used to collect, process, and analyze clinical data. Clinical methods are used to reach a conclusion about a patient in a medical situation. There are various goals that can be achieved by following clinical methods, including diagnosing a disease, planning a treatment regimen, or monitoring the efficacy of a treatment

Reproducibility refers to the ability of an experiment or study to be replicated, either by the same person or group or by others working independently. With regard to scientific public...
Why did we change focus from the 3Rs to Systematic Reviews? Questionnaires on the 3Rs have revealed that the 3R search gets no high priority and the 3R search process is never included in fun...
