Many science stories you read online are pretty unreliable.

Some of them are put out there just to attract your eyeballs.
其中一些被发布出来只是为了吸引你的眼球。

In order to become a wise reader, here are some simple questions you should ask yourself.
为了成为一名明智的读者，这里有一些你应该问自己的简单问题。

Where’s the proof?
证据在哪里？

Never accept anything just because a reporter says so.
不要仅仅因为记者这样说就接受任何事情。

Ask for proof.
要索要证据。

If the story doesn’t quote any real scientist from real labs, throw it.
如果这则报道没有引用来自真实实验室的真实科学家，那就把它丢掉。

Who did it?
是谁做的这项研究？

Any reliable science news story has to answer some basic questions.
任何可靠的科学新闻报道都必须回答一些基本问题。

On the top of the list: Who did the original research?
排在清单最前面的是：是谁做了最初的研究？

When it comes to science, you’d better look for studies by scientists at top universities or respected research groups.
谈到科学时，你最好寻找由顶尖大学或受尊敬的研究团队的科学家所做的研究。

Where was the original study published?
这项最初的研究是在哪里发表的？

When a researcher finds something valuable, he doesn’t go to the local newspaper.
当一名研究人员发现有价值的东西时，他不会去找当地的报纸。

Instead, he writes an article and hands it to a scientific journal.
相反，他会写一篇文章并将其提交给科学期刊。

The journal editors then read it and send it to a few other researchers for their opinion.
期刊编辑随后会阅读它，并把它送给其他几位研究人员征求他们的意见。

If the feedback is good, the article will be published.
如果反馈良好，这篇文章就会被发表。

So if the story doesn’t mention any article published in a journal, think twice.
因此，如果报道没有提到任何发表在期刊上的文章，就要三思。

What kind of research was it?
这是什么类型的研究？

Research can be done in many different ways.
研究可以通过许多不同的方式来进行。

The more variables there are, the harder the research is to come to a conclusion.
变量越多，研究就越难得出结论。

In general, lab experiments are more controllable than observational studies and surveys.
一般来说，实验室实验比观察性研究和调查更容易控制。

Once you start looking critically at a study, you’re well on your way to getting a better understanding of its value.
一旦你开始以批判性的眼光看待一项研究，你就已经在更好地理解其价值的道路上了。
