Document Summary
Reliability and validity go hand in hand, not one without the other. The confidence we can have in our research will yield the same result again and again. External = the way conclusions from the research/experiments are used to generalize about certain segments of the population. Internal = the quality and ethical standards used while designing the survey/experiment. Subject matter expert = person or an institution that is reliable and objective and can be a source of information/opinion on your topic. Not all political research is time-sensitive but finding the most recent and credible sources is best. Finding relevance is very hard, but ask professor for help. Can all be tainted by; emotions, political concerns, source of funding, biases, prejudice. Peer review is essential: often discouraged form using the pronouns i me So(cid:373)e pu(cid:271)li(cid:272)atio(cid:374)s are k(cid:374)o(cid:449)(cid:374) to ha(cid:448)e a (cid:271)ias.
