What I Learned About Scholarly Research

 In the library we talked about the different types of research and that we had to use a filter for at least two of our sources. This filter was called peer reviewed or something along the same line which meant that it was looked at by someone in that filed that had some sort of power like a doctorate. What I noticed is that the data could be peer reviewed and "legitimate" but also skewed. For example one that I founds was on peoples max squats in relation to what sport they played. In the test they made all the athletes squat at the same time, six in the morning and they found it was between baseball and football.

    This information may have been correct, but it's not a well tested hypothesis because its at six in the morning some people just won't be able to lift as heavy during that time because it's so early. By doing it at six the data is unintentionally skewed or even some times intentionally to get the results wanted, but because they did this at that time it's not a valid source. Even though it was peer reviewed its still important to look at the details to make sure you really understand the testing and what the paper is about.
