The field of research methodology and biostatistics forms the foundation of scientific inquiry, shaping the way knowledge is created, validated, and applied across disciplines. This book, Research Methodology and Biostatistics, has been developed with the intent to provide students, researchers, and professionals with a clear, comprehensive, and structured understanding of the essential concepts that guide scientific research. Drawing upon established theories, practical examples, and systematic frameworks, the book simplifies complex ideas and presents them in an accessible and learner-friendly manner. The chapters included in this work introduce readers to the fundamentals of research—from identifying a problem, formulating objectives and hypotheses, and choosing appropriate research designs, to understanding sampling methods, data collection, data analysis, and interpretation. Biostatistics, as an integral component of scientific studies in health sciences, public health, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and life sciences, is woven throughout the text to emphasize its indispensable role in evidence-based decision-making. By integrating methodological principles with statistical tools, the book encourages analytical thinking and promotes scientific rigor. This book has been prepared to meet the academic needs of learners at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, while also benefiting practitioners who wish to strengthen their understanding of research processes. Care has been taken to maintain clarity, coherence, and practical relevance, ensuring that readers gain not only theoretical knowledge but also the confidence to apply these principles in real-world research situations. It is our sincere hope that this book serves as a valuable guide for all those embarking on their research journey.
