Re: List of Research by heading|?

November 11, 2007

They could just stick to Pubmed research which would all have been peer

reviewed and published.

Some research is more important than other bits. My brother did a dig

through the learned journals and pulled out what he thought were the

significant studies of the last 10 years. Even with a high proportion of

them just one page abstracts, he got a pile a foot high.

Some studies are incomprehensible.Even the abstracts.

But a list of significant studies published in major journals and

peer-reviewed could be very useful. I guess you would need a brains

trust group to agree " significant " (would it include the Geiers studies

for instance -- hotly criticised but according to my brother " good

science " ).

A disclaimer to say " publication of a study on this list does not carry

the endorsement of RA or any recommendation for treatment "

If this is a good idea, could someone else sign into RA and suggest it.

I've made one suggestion already and I think they may recognise me if I

try any more.
