Course overview

What's the most effective current method to assure that research findings are valid, appropriate, and are a useful contribution to the literature?

This course discusses the critical appraisal process from a journal's point of view to the point of view and responsibility of the reviewer. Further, the course discusses legitimate sources of information and illegitimate sources, called predatory journals.
