    • How to Read and Critique a Scientific Research Article : Notes to Guide Students Reading Primary Literature (With Teaching Tips for Faculty Members), Paperback by May, Yeong Foong, ISBN 9814579165, ISBN-13 9789814579162, Used Good Condition, Free shipping in the US

      This slim volume would be useful for both students, primarily in life sciences, and established researchers faced with tasks of peer review. It is a collection of notes covering the process of reading and evaluating claims made in scientific articles. Opening with a discussion of the anatomy of a scientific research paper, it describes specific things to look for: premise, logic, and novelty of the work in question; data coherence, reliability, and validity; analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of an approach presented therein; critiques of conclusions made and the relationship between them and the data. Throughout, the emphasis is on the development of scientific literacy and critical skills necessary for proper evaluation of material. As such, this book is of use far beyond its intended audience: everyone can benefit from the approaches and methodologies described in it. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
