Study Skills For Dummies

Any research, testing or reports that come from companies has a specific purpose or agenda, often for financial or economic reasons. University or college-based research on the other hand is supposed to be unbiased, although much research is supported by commercial companies, especially in the pharmaceutical industry. This support affects what is researched in universities, but shouldn’t affect how it’s done– for example, by influencing the results. Bear this is mind as a possible criticism when reviewing this kind of work.

Be careful when you do a search on any topic, but especially psychology or behavioural sciences. Check the origin of the information, as it may not be from an educational establishment. It’s possible for you to refer in your work to company sponsored e-learning or research as long as you’re aware that that’s what it is and say so clearly: a good deal of high-quality, in-company work is available, some of it carried out by well-known academics.
