extensive network of research and advocacy. The New York Times published an article evaluating the findings, explaining how prominent academics, such as Professor Wayne Parrott of University of Georgia, are involved not only in exploratory research in agrichemistry, but also in promoting the findings to policy makers. Many of these academic were recruited due to their prior advocacy- advocacy independent of corporate influence and based in their interpretation of the research. By channeling…

Typically, when people think of doing research they automatically go to Google to search their topic and gather the information needed. One issue that this causes is that this specific search engine finds thousands of results that may not even be relevant to what one is searching for.

The primary concern is the safety and protection of the research participants. Protecting the participants will mean conducting a full…

When conducting research on another human being, rules must be put in place to protect the dignity and health of that person. That being said, if the person is under no physical or emotional distress, there should not be a need to stop a researcher from continuing or sharing their findings. A reasonable stance in this case would mean do not harm, if that was not explicitly obvious to begin with if you are a decent human being.

goes everywhere.” – Mieke Gerritzen. This quote beautifully captures just how difficult it can be to create a solid research study. There are an incredible amount of things to consider when crafting a strong design and when it is done well there are numerous benefits. However, when it is does not go according to plan the intended outcomes crumble like a house of cards. The research study Predicting Adjustment During the Transition to College, had many strengths and also some very clear areas for…

resources, and in the “Beyond Markets and States,” article she also included research about this. In this article she focused studying water industries that were both privately and publicly owned.

According to Mitroff and Turoff (1975) the epistemological positions of the researcher influences the respondent s’ answers to the Delphi questionnaire. An argument supported by Churchman (1971) who reported on the various philosophical perspectives of a Delphi study (Tapio et al., 2011, p.1626)…

adopted, with its emphasis on the supply of scientific knowledge, which states that science leads to technology and this in turn transforms the basic science Commercial applications that seek to satisfy the needs of the market; In other words, basic research leads to "invention" and then to innovation, that is, to the launch of the novelty. Escorsa Pere Castells (2005) believes that this model is not realistic (1) and on the contrary too theoretical, since the basic science does not always…

numerous texts and revising many of my old writings, I have learned various techniques to effectively organize my ideas and make them much clearer to my potential audiences.
