The development of rules for scientific reasoning has not been straightforward; scientific method has been the subject of intense and recurring debate throughout the history of science, and eminent natural philosophers and scientists have argued for the primacy of ...
A large number of hierarchies of evidence have been proposed. Similar protocols for evaluation of research quality are still in development. So far, the available protocols pay relatively little attention to whether outcome research is relevant to efficacy (the outcome of a treatment performed under ideal conditions) or to effectiveness (the outcome of the treatment performed under ordinary ...
Research on pathogens is inherently risky: If handled incorrectly, pathogens can escape the lab, for example, or researchers may unintentionally make a pathogen more lethal by modifying it.
Whether the research was conducted independent of the particular litigation or dependent on an intention to provide the proposed testimony. [4] In 2000, the Federal Rules of Evidence, Rule 702 was amended in an attempt to codify and structure elements embodied in the "Daubert trilogy." [5] [6]
