Document Summary

Week 4 information and evidence, types and problems. Written by the people who actually did the research. A panel of scientific experts review the paper, edit the paper, determine if it is of a high enough standard to be published. Write a proposal to sell and share the idea. Proposal review by 3-10 experts at a funding agency - only the best get money (can take up to 6 months) Present results at conferences - open to 100s of peers. 3 experts, plus an editor reviews before publishing (sometimes takes a year) Then it is open to the criticism of the world. In university settings, primary source refereed journal articles always trumps all other sources. Written by someone who did not conduct the original research, but it is still peer. The warburton "systematic review" of physical activity guidelines is an example. He did not do any experiments, surveys on physical activity.
