Read critically
We outline the process of active reading, which involves interaction with the content, and asking yourself questions throughout to gain a deeper understanding.
Learn efficiently
Rather than starting reading at the top and making your way through the paper, we provide a series of actions to help you make an initial assessment of the study quality.
Understand the methods
The methods section of a study can be complex. In this e-Book, we outline a series of questions to aid your understanding of how a study was conducted, and what a 'gold-standard' method would be.
Interpret the findings
We discuss how data can be presented to emphasize a difference between conditions and detail how a single study often represents only one piece of a very large jigsaw.
