Sample size calculations: basic principles and common pitfalls [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
One of the most common requests that statisticians get from investigators are sample size calculations or sample size justifications. The sample size is the number of patients or other experimental units included in a study, and determining the sample size required to answer the research question is one of the first steps in designing a study.
