In this thesis, Martinez-Sánchez aims to help health professionals who want to develop their academic and research careers. “From my personal experience as a researcher and teacher, I wanted to share with colleagues in the health field those key methods and skills that are essential for growth in our work, but that are not explained during graduate and postgraduate training,” says the author.

With a friendly and informal style, The Code of Science seeks to motivate health professionals to develop research in an effective way while still enjoying the process. Through his personal and professional experience, Martínez-Sánchez offers tips and clues in this book that will enable the reader to easily acquire the skills needed to begin doing research in the health field, publish scientific results and enjoy their career along the way.
