View Resource What NOT to Read: A Lesson in Reviewing and Critiquing Scientific Literature Using a Junk Science Article on Climate Change

A central challenge for college-level science and ecology students is understanding the significance of peer-reviewed scientific literature. Such literature is increasingly easy to access, but students have little appreciation for how it is generated and little insight into how it should be critiqued. We propose a simple exercise that demonstrates the importance of a critical reading of not...
