25. Which of the following scenarios provided would you consider a credible and accurate research study.

A. Dr. OCD is conducting research on Bacillus subtilis endospore development. During the experiments he reaches to grab a mutagen, instead he accidently grabs the 70% Ethanol! After incubating the plates he discovers that everything is dead, he then realizes his mistake and repeats the experiment making sure to get it right; even though this a simple mistake was made he makes note of it later in the publication.

B. A Pharmaceutical company that has had a shady past wants to show a change of character, to do this they fund an internal study to investigate a potential link between one of their drugs and an auto-immune disease.

C. A researcher is really struggling to turn out results on their epidemiological study; to cut back on time/money/resources they reduce the population studied from 10,000 to 5,000. When the results came back, they simply doubled the values to show results for the original 10,000.

D. A world-famous research lab just outside of Denver is conducting research on bacteriophages and their potential for treating bacterial infections. During the research an undergraduate intern forgets to record data for the control group; the primary

A. This research is credible and accurate. once the researcher encountered with a mistake he started again for an accurate result.

(Dr. OCD is conducting research on Bacillus subtilis endospore development. During the experiments he reaches to grab a mutagen, instead he accidently grabs the 70% Ethanol! After incubating the plates he discovers that everything is dead, he then realizes his mistake and repeats the experiment making sure to get it right; even though this a simple mistake was made he makes note of it later in the publication)

B will not be credible because it is of equal importance to check if a third party has sponsored or funded the study as this could further affect the objectivity of the study.

C. This research result will not be accurate as they manipulated the result by simply doubling the value.

D. This research result also will not be accurate as the intern missed the record data of the control group for comparison.
