Research journal assignment #7

My first evaluation will be on a article out of Skeptical Inquirer Magazine. This article was published in a science magazine so the reliability of this article is very good in my opinion. The author also seems to use a lot of vocabulary that only scientists would know and he give definitions for all the words that the general public would not know. The information in this article is also right on he gives science experiments and the scientist that conduct them. it was only written 7 years ago so it is pretty up to date. I would say that this Article is very reliable.

One article that i found on the web was how stuff works "do parallel universes really exist?". The author of this article really did his homework because he explains everything so simple and easy to understand that you know he is an expert on this topic. There are also no spelling or grammar problems so it has been published and looked over many times. There is nothing out of the ordinary in this article so it is also reliable.

I have found books in library's all over but couldn't seem to find them when i got there, so i have looked at some books o papers online one is written by the scientist i want to interview so i know that it is very reliable. The paper is kind of difficult to read but i know must of what he is saying.

  1. Your evaluation seems to be a good one. Anytime you can have scientific opinions, it always or at least always seem reliable. I like that the article includes science experiment data. The title of your magazine got my laughing as it says "skeptical"...very ironic.
