Question

To ensure valid and accurate reporting of research, various standards have been adopted that all researchers are encouraged to utilize. Sandelowski and Barroso identified which of the following as important mechanisms to follow? Select all that apply.

A) Consulting with reference librarians

B) Independent appraisal of each report by at least two reviewers

C) Reject reports that reviewers have differing points of view

D) Focus groups of at least four members

E) Questioning primary study investigators as needed

Explanation / Answer

B, D, E.

Research should be regularly appraised. Independent appraisal should be done by reviewers also. It will be a critical error to disregard research with differing points of view. Focus groups are important, however their opinion should not be taken at face value again and presented as one. Questioning all studies is necessary.
