[7:20 p.m. | Updated | I've separately posted highlights from an e-mail discussion about the essay involving Socolow and an array of researchers plowing similar terrain.] The exchange explores both the validity of the conclusions in the original 2004 paper and reactions to Socolow's proposals for gaining traction in an era of deep polarization and economic malaise.
The external validity of the conclusions is discussed.
Various factors can affect the validity of the conclusions they express, however.
Thus, the validity of the conclusions is not proven and the verification is hindered.
The validity of the conclusions obtained using the fictive materials was checked by applying the weight functions to four real composites.
In any case, the validity of the conclusions of tissue engineering will have to be verified in human clinical models using methodologically correct prospective epidemiological designs.
Depending on the client, the job can range from formatting and tidying up well-written, consistent text to (in the worst case) complete rewriting of non-English authored text or reorganising the data and questioning the validity of the conclusions.
Biases can operate in either direction, causing an under- or an overestimation of effect, which if unaccounted for may ultimately affect the validity of the conclusions from a study [9].
