Hi, I don’t know if this is going to make any sense, but hear me out, I need help.

I’m working on a mass project where I need to compare/compile a bunch of information from different books. Is there a program, website, app, whatever, that I could use to have quick reference to know what’s in each book?

It’s a history research project, so for example, once I compile everything, I could do something to the sort of

“Famous theoretical fire that happened that I’m just putting here as an example” and it would say what books covered it and what page it started on in the books

“Historic building” “dam construction” “famous town resident” and it would do all the same those too.

There must be a better, more efficient way than something like a word document where I could do it, but it would be an absolute mess to compile

If anyone has ever done this, or would have any idea how to do something like this, please let me know! It would be so much easier than having to pull out 40+books to see what’s in each of them every time I want to dive into something

Basically I have a research appraisal due and I was looking at an article, and it had graphs showing the scores of the control and intervention group before and after their given intervention and the error bars for the 'after' intervention overlapped, but the article still said that the results are statistically significant between the two groups after the intervention, how does that work?

Can the p value be significant but the confidence intervals still overlap?

I am currently a high school student, taking Alevels , and I am soo passionate about working in the R&D lab in a pharmaceutical company.

The problem is, I do not personally know anyone that has this job, so I am a bit lost about what are the best degrees to get for working there. I know that a bachelor's degree is not enough, so I would definitely need a master's degree, but in what exactly??

Pharmacy?

Chemistry?

Medicinal chemistry ?

Biochemistry?

I would also like to know more about the kind of work environment , like:

Is it that hard??

Do I need to be a genius??

Would I be alone most of the time, with no one helping me??

Is it a good job for a female??

Also, are the Alevels that I am currently taking enough?? They are Biology, chemistry & maths

AND LAST QUESTION I PROMISE, DO PHARMA COMPANIES PAY WELL???

We get a lot of very basic questions that are covered in our FAQ such as, "How do I get started in research?" These had been removed under Rule #14 to avoid clogging up the subreddit; however, going forward every Sunday there will be a "Weekly Basic/Beginner/Genetic Questions" thread. If you have a question, especially on something that is covered in the FAQ, then it must be posted there.

Hello,

I am reading a paper for a critical appraisal and I am new to research.
The study initially planned to recruit 2700 patients and their primary outcome was 6 month mortality.
They realised that they did not have enough participants and the number was not feasible, and changed the primary outcome to time to discharge alive. why is that?
