Experienced scientists and medical researchers know how important
it is to engage with research literature in an active, critical and
analytical way. However in most universities little time is devoted
to teaching the relevant skills. Readers who accept scientific
papers uncritically may misunderstand results, misinterpret the
experimental significance of techniques, over or underestimate the
importance of findings and waste time and resources on flawed or
unnecessary experiments.
"Critical Reading "is aimed at everyone who needs to read original
research papers in life sciences and medicine: final-year
undergraduates, graduate students, research scientists, clinicians
and medical researchers. Through a series of clearly focused
chapters, the reader is introduced to critical reading skills such
as:
- Detection and analysis of spin
- Development of active reading habits
- Evaluation of methods, including qualitative methods
- Scientific analysis and interpretation
This book promotes a balanced, rigorous approach to the literature.
It is unique in providing examples and end-of-chapter exercises
from a wide range of scientific and clinical disciplines including
biochemistry, ecology, immunology and physiology. Principles are
extensively illustrated by reference to real papers, which are
discussed constructively in the context of the pressures and
technical difficulties that face researchers.
The skills "Critical Reading "imparts will deepen readers'
understanding of the research process, increase enjoyment and
enhance professional confidence and effectiveness in academic,
clinical and commercial settings.
