    The key differences between a reviewed scientific article and a registered scientific article are: 1) Reviewed articles undergo a peer review process that is not perfect and can lead to inflated results, while registered articles require rigorous review of the study design before data collection. 2) Reviewed articles should be interpreted cautiously due to flaws in peer review, while registered articles focus more on outlining methodology than results. 3) Registered articles are more likely to have null results or lack statistical significance, while reviewed articles may overstate significance of results.

    QUESTION 1:

    The difference between a scientific article that has been reviewed and a scientific report
    that has been registered is the nature of the review process. Reviewed scientific articles are
    posted and peer-reviewed, however the process of peer-reviewing is not perfect. A registered
    scientific article on the other hand, cannot even proceed to start collecting and analyzing data
    until reviewed rigorously; the review process is mainly looking at the quality of the design. The
    difference between both is crucial, and is impactful when coming to interpreting both types.
    Typically, review articles must be approached with a slight skepticism and with careful analysis;
    the peer review process is not always perfect, often experiments under this format have inflated
    results and lead to false positives, and the research is mainly based from the researches
    viewpoint. With registered articles, the methodological rigor is key, often outlining what has been
    done rather than results. Reaching statistical significance is not the goal, but rather it is to
    ensure that the scientists have a solid, strong study. Often, reports of this nature are often prone
    to null results and lack of statistical significance.

    QUESTION 2:

    The 2 stages I believe are most transferable are “jargon busting” and “discussion”.
    Personally, many articles I have read, regardless of discipline, often have challenging and
    specific vocabulary - I find it difficult to even begin reading and attempting to traverse through so
    many sentences with little comprehension. So, looking up these words is a highly crucial
    approach since it ensures full understanding of the article and reduces the potential for
    misinterpretation. Secondly, discussion near the end is important for reasoning out between
    personal thoughts versus the author’s thoughts. Many times I develop my own attitude and
    interpretation of a certain article after reading, influencing the way I understand the article -
    sometimes my interpretation heavily steers away from what the author may want to leave to the
    reader. Looking at the discussion portion of any article will aid in leveling out any disagreements
    or interpretation, allowing a fair, elucidated evaluation between the author and the reader.

    QUESTION 3:

    In a doctor’s appointment, everything is very routine; the doctor asks how you are, asks
    if you have any issues or discomfort, and sometimes by the end potentially receive a diagnosis
    (okay or not okay). Mainly, persuasion comes from the patient rather than the doctor. In my
    personal experience, I had to persuade very occupied emergency doctors at the hospital that I
    felt a stinging and agonizing pain in my stomach, and they denied further examination after
    negative blood tests despite there actually being a large tumor in my stomach. So, a pivotal
    outcome of persuasion from the patient in terms of health is contradicting views between the
    old, regular, patient and the highly respected, presumably perceptive doctor, which in turn is a
    cause for bias.
