Description
Research informs practice! As a professional, it is our duty to remain updated with current research on efficacy and safety of essential oils. Having published more than 15 scientific papers in international journals while being a distiller and aromatherapist himself, Marco Valussi understands the importance of scientific research from many angles. In this course, he will break down why you need to understand scientific research as a whole, as well as how to approach reading and interpreting the information in scientific papers.
Marco will first introduce the role of scientific articles in research, explain their functions, along with other research tools, and highlight the central concept of science as a community effort. Subsequently, he will then describe the types of research papers and how they translate into clinical guidelines, their formal structure, the meaning of the different sections, the possible errors, how to spot them, and how to evaluate the overall quality and credibility of the article, using practical examples.
Please Note: This course was originally recorded for an event called AromaSummit; as such, you may hear mention of this event during the presentation.
