Interpreting Scientific Articles
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In your comparison, focus on the following criteria, which should also serve as the guidelines for creating your “good” and “bad” articles. • Does the article accurately report the methods and findings of the paper? • Are the scientific details explained at an understandable level without being needlessly technical or overly simplified? • Is the significance or impact of the paper accurately represented? Is there any exaggeration? • Does the article get the reader excited about science? Reporting of science in the media often relies on a nonscientist interpreting the results of a scientific paper in order to explain them in a way which is understandable and engaging to a general audience. The success of this interpretation can vary greatly, and results of the original paper can be misrepresented or exaggerated. Your job will be to explore this process from two points of view: the author of a scientific news article and the reader of such an article.
