In this final podcast on research methods we are going to tie up a few loose ends by firstly looking at the concepts of reliability and validity and ways in which we can assess them. We’re then going to discuss peer review, an important part of the scientific process, before finally having a look at inferential testing, which involves the use of statistical tests to determine if findings from research are meaningful or not.
