Abstract

This chapter is divided into five major sections starting with an attempt to dispel some of the misconceptions that many people have about computers. Next, you will be given some guidelines on how to plan for the automation of your own research environment. Before going into detail about computer hardware, we will focus on the software programs you may need as a clinical researcher. Finally we will discuss the management of your computer system.
