Research Skills - Locating and Evaluating Resources: Diseases and Disorders
Introduction
When using better quality articles in literature review during a study, the stronger the research becomes. However, the use of articles that are not respected is likely to lead to unfounded research conclusions (Harris, 1997). Therefore, this paper will analyze some considerations to qualify an articles authenticity and quality over the others.

First, the article is published in the journal Elsevier, which is highly ranked on the Journal Quality List and is a global leader in information and analytics. The journal is well known for helping healthcare professionals and researchers improve healthcare outcomes and advance science by publishing quality papers. Subsequently, from academic search, the article has been cited several times (124 times) by researchers and research organizations of high standing orders. This means that the article has been mentioned at least 124 times in other articles. Moreover, upon checking the authors of those other articles, I realized they are research experts, and they used the article to support their points (Harris, 1997). The leading author of the article (Roger S. McIntyre) is the leading the Mood Disorders Psychopharmacology Unit situated in the University Health Network and a renowned professor of Psychiatry and Pharmacology at the University of Toronto (McIntyre et al. 2020). He has also researched multiple areas like mood disorders, cognitive function, medical comorbidity, metabolism, and inflammation, amongst others.
Additionally, this article was published very recently on google scholar, that is, in December 2020. This makes the information very valid and current to present issues of bipolar...
…authors of those other articles, I realized they are research experts, and they used the article to support their points.3. Neff, A. P., & Marzani, G. (2012). Bipolar disorders: a review.American family physician,85(5), 483-493.
The article looks well organized with presented arguments, adequately addressed topics, and information and data to substantiate them. Moreover, after searching the publication through google, I found out that the journal American Academy of Family Physicians that published the article is among the top publishers of family medicine. The quality of the source was therefore high enough to use the article. The articles co-author (Neff) has practiced medicine for over 20 years and is a fellowship-trained Integrative Medicine specialist. The co-author (Gabrielle Marzani) is a professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences (Neff & Marzani, 2012). They have written renowned articles, and their contribution to bipolar disorder…

Research Ethics The little Albert experiment The little Albert experiment is a famous psychology experiment that was conducted by a behaviorist John. B. Watson. The participant in the experiment was a nine-month-old boy and he was exposed to various stimuli that included a white rat, monkey, masks and burning news papers and the reactions of the boy were observed.

Research Ethics It is important when conducting research that the researcher adheres to a strong set of ethical guidelines. Ethics ensure that the research is conducted without causing harm to any person. While modern research ethics began with the study of issues regarding the use of human subjects, it has evolved into a more comprehensive understanding of a wide range of norms of conduct (Resnik, 2010). Some of the different subject
Werhane & Doering (1997) point out that it is virtually impossible to operate in a totally objective research environment. All researchers have a degree of bias. The goal is to minimize that bias as a variable in empirical research. Focusing on conflicts of interest and conflicts of commitment, Werhane & Doering (1997) raise important issues and address critical concerns. The issues of conflict of interest and conflict of commitment are
