Science university researchers which examined the trail approval process for 12 separate antidepressants submitted to the FDA (Turner, 2008). They found that only 3/36 trails with negative findings were published compared to 37/38 of positive trails. Publishing negative findings is essential to interpret the overall significance of field of research and this issue needs to be resolved. There are numerous concerns with Publication bias. Research is becoming less innovative and its neutrality is decreasing

Communication Issues for Researchers A scientific researcher faces many obstacles while trying to conduct a research project. The researcher’s inability to communicate clearly what he or she is trying to do can result in difficulties throughout the process. Grant applications to fund projects and scientific papers to document results are often as important as the work itself. Besides standard written documentation and applications, a researcher will develop oral presentations for various stakeholders

good and bad so they will correct the mistakes and tell you what needs improvement. Another advantage is the reviewer can find out whether the scientific journal or report has been plagiarized and remove which will save money and time instead of publishing it. Also peer review allows the reviewer/ reader to repeat the exact experiments and used the exact same results that they obtained and compare to what they got to see how similar and accurate the result which makes it more reliable to use. Lastly
Reflection usually means reflecting on an experience usually a bad experience that requires the practitioner to stop and evaluate the best way forward. Leeson (2010) suggests practitioners to 'feel' their work as opposed to just observing. This can challenge practice and knowledge and hopefully give greater understanding. However, reflection requires the practitioner to question their own professional practice and as such this self knowledge is not an easy option. As Crowley (2009:4) states practitioner

2. INTRODUCTION Performing a literature review is like an art. It is a precursor in the introduction of a research paper.

It is a summary of a particular area of research allowing anybody reading the paper to establish why pursuing the research program. The purpose of a literature review is to help in explaining how the question to be investigated fits in and the reason why the researcher has approached
Project’s findings. (As quoted by Badke, para. 1) Even if the public likes it, though, for the most part academic circles do not. Many professors will not allow their students to use Wikipedia. These professors think Wikipedia is trivial, untrustworthy, insulting, and too often completely incorrect. (2008, para. 4) Could this be because the university world is jealous? It is true that true academics are the experts and if a layperson wants the facts, they are the best resource. However, because of
I am writing to strongly recommend Tiffany Richards, who is a Graduate Student in the Program of Neuroscience at Stony Brook University, for the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Spouses Education Scholarship. Tiffany has worked in my lab since Summer 2016 and she is undoubtedly one of the most intelligent and hardworking Master students I have witnessed at our University. My laboratory studies the behavioral, electrophysiological and neuroanatomical aspects of spinal cord injury – with the overall
