In the spirit of cooperation and helping others out, I am including three links

to help people better understand research studies from my WikiSpaces site.

(1) Participating in Research (a primer for anyone who is not familiar with

being a part of a research study)

Go to http://www.researchautism.org/family/research/participating/index.asp

(2) Reading Research (a primer for anyone who is not familiar with reading

research reports)

Go to http://www.researchautism.org/family/research/reading/index.asp

(3) Research Basics (a primer for anyone who is not familiar with any part of

research)

Go to http://nichcy.org/research/basics

After all, prior to attending graduate school and learning how to reference and

cite papers, the longest paper I wrote was five pages in undergraduate (you read

this right, five pages - basically unheard of anymore). It didn't involve any

citing and referencing. I received a C on my first paper in graduate school

(equal to an F in a two-year or four-year undergraduate class).

The grade on my rewrite was much, much better, and my papers improved from

there. I passed my written comps about two years later on the first try. Keep

in mind that not everyone in here has taken a Research Methods class to

understand the importance of good research having validity and reliability, as

well as being free of all kinds of bias.
