The article focuses on research methods courses at diploma level. One is not required to carry out a piece of research involving the collection of new data. The critical analysis of a research paper should draw upon all the skills and knowledge of the research process. Thus the authors' credentials should be borne in mind: are their qualifications and experience appropriate to the topic being researched? Was the study carried out in Great Britain or the U.S. or somewhere else, and is this relevant to professional practice? There is a huge variety of research journals that publish health-related material and they vary in quality, especially in the processes or standards of peer review that are applied to articles submitted for publication by researchers. The better known and international journals--such as the British Medical Journal, the Journal of Advanced Nursing or the Journal of the American Medical Association to name but a few--generally apply rigorous standards of review of articles submitted. One should not automatically assume, however, that because a research paper appears in a prestigious journal that it is necessarily true or beyond reproach and should also consider who it was that funded the study; funding organizations range from charities, research councils and local sources to commercial companies such as drug and appliance manufacturers.
