Doody's Review
"As evidence and the way it is organized and consumed continue to evolve, regular updates are needed. This fourth edition includes current information about how to find evidence as well as thoughts on placing value on different types of research for clinical practice. It is a reference for practicing clinicians as well as a comprehensive introduction to evidence-based practice for future clinicians."
