How to Read a Scientific Article
Psychologists publish their research findings in peer-reviewed, scientific journals. Scientific journal articles are different from news articles or blog posts you would find through a typical Internet search. When you read news articles or blog posts about scientific research, you can't assume these sources accurately interpret the study's findings or appropriately emphasize what the study's original authors think is important. For a full description of the background, methodology, results, and application of a study's findings, you must read a scientific article.
