Many times, when the name of a university eh associated to a study or searches, the reaction of publishes eh to it reliable immediate. However, nor all the articles and related research the university present resulted that they can be ranks in practises immediately for the population in general. Many times, exploratorios studies, that do not present resulted concrete, are presented for the media as if they were definitive. This can cause enormous badly-understood and other serious consequencias, mainly in if treating to medical and related studies greet it.
Some questions must be made whenever a study it will be presented as “scientific” or carried through for some university:
1 - Who eh the author and where the study was carried through?
2 - The study it was sponsored by some company?
3 - Where the study it was published? (academic magazines you would be function in the system “blind-review”, that is, nothing eh published without before passing for the bolter of anonymous copyholders)
4 - Who was studied? (results gotten in a group of local animal people//can not be extended to other groups)
5 - What the study it looked for to discover? (many times the media distorts the discoveries to generate the news…)
6 - Which age the size of the sample? (that is, how many people had been searched to get these results)
7 - How the study she was made?
8 - As conclusoes dos autores sao logicas e apropriadas?

A brief example pra voces to apply the test of the questions: In this article published for the BBC Brazil - none of the excellent information to identify to the quality of the study eh supplied and precipitated and illogical conclusions are done on the basis of the minimum of data. Valley the penalty to read the article to take off its proper conclusions:
