In this video we want to touch upon some fundamental aspects of research in clinical psychology.

So first, the first one is about peer review.
00:15

01:09
So it really adds validity and credibility because there's no way to check, you know, is it right if you're publishing new research? but this is sort of a good way to be more sure.
01:27
For the second question, let's see, what are the steps if you're doing clinical research it's important to understand scholarly sources.

So that you can be aware of what other people in your field are doing, is something that you're doing kind of related to an offshoot of other research in the field? has what you're doing, has it already been studied? so you just want to be aware...
