Welcome back to the FINAL episode of the 'Research Mini-Series'.

In this episode, Dr Sandy MacQuarrie helps us understand if the research that we are looking at is reliable and of good quality. This is crucial in all stages of our careers, from university student, to paramedic on road, to completing a research study. Our practice needs to be guided by evidence-based study and information. 

Topics discussed include:
  • Predatory journals
  • Impact factor of a journal
  • Q rating 
  • Date submitted vs. date published 
  • Peer reviewed 
  • Heirarchy of evidence and strength
  • Frameworks such as CASP and JBI
DISCLAIMER: All of the opinions of each individual on 'The Student Paramedic Podcast' are their own.
