4321CONSIDERATIONS FOR CHOOSING A REFERENCE

Journal Source

Avoid questionable open access journals

Value of impact factor

Study Design

Ensure the study design is applicable to interpretation of the case test result

Scientific Contents

Determine whether the study findings are supported by the data & reproduced by other studies 

Limitations

Give appropriate weight to the findings in consideration of the study design

Critical Review of a Journal Article

‐ Directory of Open Access Journals (https://doaj.org/)‐ Jones AW. Impact factors of forensic science and toxicology journals: what do the numbers really mean? Forensic Sci Int2003;133:1‐8.

E.g., If the case blood sample had been stored at 4°C in a gray‐top tube, choose a reference evaluating analyte stability under the same storage condition.

Confounding factors, covariance, dose, subject demographics, sample size, location, collection, storage, analytical method, study tasks, control, etc.
