further. It has been argued26 that uncontrolled trials have a number of important functions in the early stages of research: they can be used to establish if there is a clinical effect worth investigating, identify the most suitable participants, as well as the most appropriate outcome measures, and can be conducted by practitioners in the course of their normal work.
Publishing student work: Editorial note
The above paper by Atkins & Harris forms part of a student undergraduate degree submission. We feel it is important to encourage students to consider writing for publication. Too often undergraduate and post graduate studies are relegated to dusty shelves (or hard drives) never to be seen again. This is a pity. Even though studies may not be perfect or comprise of small scale work, the process of writing for publication is an important career step. It may also encourage others to realise that publication is not the sole domain of academics but of people who have something valuable to impart to others and which may bring a new dimension or insight into an old problem.
So, if you are about to graduate, submit your MA, MSc or PhD in integrative medicine, your work may well contain new information worth sharing with others. Denise Rankin-Box
