A critical part of the research process is questioning and evaluating your data and resources: measured data points, data sets, articles, books. and anything else that you use for your research.
What is peer review, and why is it a big deal for research? What about journals and why are they important? How do I evaluate articles and other resources to know that I can trust them?
These are some of the important questions to ask as you begin your research. Take a look at the Guide to Science Information Sources and get these questions answered!
