In the podcast on scientific literature Prof Fraser talked about the difference between primary literature, textbooks, and news articles. Which best describes her assessment? Select the ONE BEST answer. a. Primary literature Is the only form of information written by scientists. Textbooks and media are poor sources because they do not get peer reviewed by other scientists. ○ b. Popular media publications are not worth reading if you're serious about science. Students should only read scientific literature. ○ c. A textbook is a more general summary than a piece of primary literature, but both are written by scientists and are very good sources of information. Most scientists write for the media. ○ d. Scientific literature is written, and thoroughly reviewed, by scientists. Textbooks are more general summaries of large bodies of information, and one can have confidence in them. Media reports are often written by people with a science background but might be more error prone because the authors are non- specialists. ○ e. All publication types are useful, but for different reasons. Media reports make stories more fun, and so should be the first stop for finding out new information.
