Question

Am I right? A scientist makes a discovery that suggests a hominid species created and used relatively sophisticated tools. The scientist decides to publish his findings. Which of the following sources would be regarded as the most reliable? A scientific magazine article A college or university website A film on anthropology A journal reviewed by peers

Answer 1

ermm i mean a journal reviewed by peers you mean by other professionals working into that field? Everything else seems to be correct i would do a little more research on that.

Answer 2

The discovery should be first published in a journal to be reviewed by other scientists to ensure that it is correct/repeatable. After this, the discovery would most probably be reported in scientific magazines and then in newspapers, important discoveries would probably be reported by newspaper quickly though which leaves the potential for a discovery to be untested and incorrect.
