2. Learning objectives
• Contrast peer-reviewed articles vs.
popular sources for biomedical topics.
• Identify parts of peer reviewed/primary
source literature in the sciences.
• Recall steps of the peer review process.
3. Remember!
Use the library web site to find books
and articles.

10. Peer-review v. Popular
• Groups of 3-5.
• 1 person from your group to get 3
magazines/journals - 1 from each pile & a chart
for recording your answers.
• On the chart write down WHY you think the
magazine or journal you have is peer-reviewed or
a popular source.
• 1 person who is willing to share what you found,
should come back to the front.
• Juniors and Seniors – make sure you can tell us
which ones are unique to this format.
11. Peer reviewed articles Popular newspaper or magazine articles
Write down WHY the journal or magazine is in each category.
13. Survey Q & As
Who is the first author and where do the
authors work?
14. Q3: Read the introduction (NOT the abstract).
What is the big question?
A. Does monitoring a person's gait while
administering single and duel function Stroop
tests the best way to judge recovery from a
concussion?
B. Are high school students playing sports getting
more concussions each year and aren't studied
enough?
C. How long does it take adolescents to recover
their ability to control balance while walking and
completing a simultaneous cognitive task in
comparison to healthy control subjects?
15. Q4: What are the authors trying to
answer specifically in this article?
A. Mental and motor skills are impaired for up to 2
months after a sports related concussion in
young people.
B. Quantifies the degree of gait balance control
disturbances in different conditions from the
time of injury and through the following two
months of recovery.
C. Gait balance in adolescents recovering from
concussions should be studied.
D. None of these.
16. Q5: What do the authors think the
results mean?
A. Adolescents recovering from a concussion have
greater difficulty with their balance while walking and
doing other tasks for several months or more. This
can be used to diagnose and treat the patients.
B. Adolescents recover quickly after concussions and
should be cleared to return to play as soon as
possible.
C. Dual task tests in adolescents are difficult to do and
it's impossible to account for all of the variables.
D. Something else.
17. Is this article an example of a peer-reviewed
or popular source?
18. Q7-9: The Associated Press. Congressmen Chide College
Conferences’ Concussion Policies. The New York
Times. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/02/sports/football/
02concussions.html. Published February 2, 2010.
Who is the intended audience?, Who are the authors?, What
is the big question?, Specific question?
A. An educated person, reading the newspaper; written by
reporters; generally it's about who should protect young
athletes who get concussions; specifically about what
regulations should be used.
B. For medical researchers; written by medical doctors;
concussions; regulations.
C. Only intended to be understandable for specialists with
years of experience on concussions; written by leading
doctors in the field; traumatic brain injuries in young
people; long term health impacts on college athletes.
19. Can this be both
Peer Reviewed journal article
as well as a
Popular magazine article?

30. Your ideas included:
A. Fix the citations (find better sources, fix dead links,
etc.)
B. Fix the citations and check for accuracy (see if the
articles say what the wiki entry says they should
say, are there better sources to use for those
sections/improve the citations, etc.)
C. Improve the citations used and revise the existing
information in the article.
D. Expand the article (sports concussions, gender
differences, treatment options, brain activity,
severity, causes, etc.)
E. Do research on a concussion related topic of your
own.

Editor's Notes
I want you to learn a lot of things. But, I think I can break down my portion of the course into the following learning objectives. Details here:
Distinguish between peer reviewed articles and popular treatments of a biomedical topic.
Recognize that science in the news comes from science research.
Identify parts of peer reviewed/primary source literature in the sciences.
Identify key components of the peer review process.

Telling the story – science is full of stories – we’ll try to talk about a few of them together
First we need to go over one of the foundations of science – the peer review process
The more you understand it, the easier it will be to talk about

Juniors and seniors: Which ones are easy to see when you have the whole journal? Which ones are mostly at the article?
How are scholarly articles different from popular ones like the newspaper article you read for class?

Most of you said general public – but a fair number mentioned NCAA and college athletic program – could also be true, but generally not scholars talking to scholars.

We want you to be able to tell science stories too – either as scientists – researchers in your own right
Or to read and understand what’s being said and make your own decisions

I am a little bit confused by this question. If it is asking what our class could do to better the Wikipedia page on Concussions then that doesn't make much sense because the page is locked down and complete. In general i think it would be beneficial for the class to dive deeper into one of these references and maybe see how they are truly used in the Wikipedia page.
Do you want to do any of these?
Add to the to-do list?
This one?
These were terrific. Insightful, thoughtful,
We’ll go through all of the different things I asked you to do from the form on Wednesday.
