Anthropology RMLA
Advancement in academia typically
depends upon Scientific publishing. The more you publish, the better the first
job, the higher the raise, and the faster the promotion. Sadly only 8% of
publications come from developing countries, despite the fact that 27% of the
scientists live in developing countries and 80% of the scientists.
In almost all disciplines in Science students are required to learn
about statistics. However, statistics is a difficult topic to learn and learning
it in a second language makes it doubly difficult. A primary reason for this is
Stataphobia which is the fear of research design and statistics, and not having
access to people who can help. Stataphobia makes it most difficult to learn
about statistics. Eighty percent of all rejected articles are due to poor
research methods.
Much of what we use across disciplines is the result of the building of research methods in the area of Antropology. We have therefore built a research methods library of Alexandria for Anthropology
The components of the Anthropology RMLA are:
1.
The General
Research methods matrix. If a student has a question about hypothesis testing
they have 5 lectures by different faculty to learn from
2.
