This document discusses how to evaluate sources of information. It contrasts library sources, which undergo restricted publication, fact-checking, editing, and revision with peer review, against web sources which may lack these quality controls. It outlines the CRAAP test for evaluating sources based on currency, relevance, authority, accuracy, and purpose. Currency refers to a source's timeliness. Relevance means a source sufficiently covers the research topic. Authority examines a source's author qualifications. Accuracy checks a source's reliability and lack of errors. Purpose determines if a source has bias or hidden agendas. Examples are provided to illustrate applying the CRAAP criteria.

Evidence-Based Practice: An introduction for new librarians
Lecture given to GLIS671 students at McGill University's School of Information Studies. (February 18, 2015)
Lecture Slides: So You Think You Can Innovate?
Why aren’t we solving the greatest scientific problems of the world today? Innovation is critical to our nation’s scientific enterprise. However, creative thinking has been on the decline and is not generally taught in academic institutions. Renowned public health scientist and clinician, Dr. Roberta Ness, Dean of the University of Texas Health School of Public Health, believes that students, established scientists, researchers, and engineers can learn to be more innovative. Through her book Innovation Generation: How to Produce Creative and Useful Scientific Ideas, and graduate course on Innovative Thinking at the University of Texas, Dr. Ness provides the framework and tools to “think outside the box.” She shared these basic concepts in this one-hour lecture. Dr. Ness is a leading researcher in women’s health and widely known for her efforts to bridge from research to policy. She is a member of the Institute of Medicine.

Lesson 3: Separation of Fact From Fiction
Objectives
· Define peer review
· List the characteristics of an intelligent consumer
· Explain why people are vulnerable to quackery
· Explain how the scientific method is used to determine health-related facts
· Explain how to evaluate sources of health information
· Explain and analyze the issue of conflict of interest in clinical research
It is difficult to be an informed consumer in today's world with all the sources of information that bombard us daily. The first two chapters of our text, Barrett,
Jarvis, Kroger and London (2007) review some of the major issues and list some
characteristics of an intelligent consumer. Test your consumer IQ and take the
consumer health profile on page 13. You may post your comments about these assessments on the discussion board.
The Scientific Method
In Chapter 2 there is a discussion about how to find reliable sources of health
information. The authors have rated some popular magazines and other periodicals.
Also in Chapter 2 there is an important discussion about the scientific method. This course is based on the assumption that the scientific method is valid. In the area of consumer health, services and products must be studied by following the scientific method in order to know if they are of any use. Health services and products must be subject to scientific scrutiny.
An understanding of the scientific method is crucial in so many ways. It helps us
separate fact from fiction. It can also give us an approach to problem solving and therefore, critical thinking. It helps us to ask questions about new treatments and products. It gives us a skeptical, or should I say, questioning view about what we are told. Knowing about the scientific method makes us want to see the proof before we accept a statement.
In epidemiology we learn about various ways to go about studying the relationship
between a factor (like cigarette smoking) and a disease (like lung cancer). When scientists begin to study a relationship like this they need to have a "wait and see" attitude about the findings. They need to go into the research with no bias or at least put aside that bias. When the cigarette companies funded the research they found no relationship between cigarettes and lung cancer. When the government began to fund the studies they found a very strong relationship. It is important to know where the funding is coming from in the various studies. The most reputable journals have a policy on conflict of interest stating that authors must disclose any
conflict of interest that might taint the study. That is also why articles are peer reviewed; so that other scientists can check their colleagues' work.
Conflict of Interest in Health Research
There has been a great deal of discussion about the effect of corporate funding of health research lately. The reason being that since the mid-70's government funding for health research declined and private funding increased. (Blumentha ...

Government agencies and organizations that fund research often publish codes of ethics to promote ethical values and ensure accountability and public trust in research. These codes typically cover honesty, objectivity, care, openness, respect for intellectual property, confidentiality, responsible publication, legality, and protection of human and animal subjects. Obtaining approval from an ethics committee is required before starting research to ensure it is conducted appropriately and raises no ethical issues.

· 1-ProQuest Nursing & Allied Health Source: this source offers a wide range of materials in nursing, allied health, alternative and complementary medicine, and the likes. It has over 860 titles in full text and over 12,000 full-text dissertations indicative of arduous nursing scholarships. Additionally, it gives access to online reference books, training tools, and evidence-based nursing material from The Joana Briggs Institute. It’s a good source for training videos and cultural reports that helps with creating a better understanding of patient care.
· CINAHL Complete is one of the most reliable databases for nursing. It offers research tools and access to nursing and allied journals. It is comprised of more than 1300 journal titles and covers over fifty specialties in nursing. Also, it offers continuing education modules, research instruments, and evidence-based care sheets.
I believe these databases will help me find the best research articles for my EBP proposal.
2-The GCU Library offers very many sources and databases of information from which nurses can be able to get nursing information. The university has databases that they get peer reviewed journal articles. These databases include the CINAHL Complete and Cochrane Library (Grand Canyon University, n.d.). These two databases are well known for having scholarly articles and journals that are very good in evidence based practice. These databases are specifically for nursing and health sciences. These databases are very good sources of information and evidence based practice papers than other sources for certain reasons. One is that they guarantee scholarly articles that are peer reviewed. The sources only provide materials and articles that have been peer reviewed. These means that the information that they provide to the reader is credible and can be used in the practice. Peer reviewed scholarly articles show that the information in the journal has been reviewed by other experts in the field and therefore the information can be used in a research or in a hospital setting.
Another reason as to why these databases are better is that they are more specific to subject and topic. This means that no time is wasted in search of information that is to be used in the research or practice. At times, the researcher has to go very many volumes of journals so as to be able to find some information (Dvorkin & Sylvester, 2018). However, these databases are specific in that they provide information on certain disciplines of nursing and health sciences. This means that they are more specific to subject. Another advantage of using these sources is that they offer a wide range of options. They have very many articles from which a nurse can choose from and they can get credible information from any of them. This means that not only is the source credible it is also reliable and one can depend fully on it.

In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used.
