Fake, Pseudo, or Authentic Report

Overview

Since the evidence-based practice has taken on movement status, everyone wants to be “evidence based.” Not surprisingly, there are fake, pseudo, and genuine claims of being evidence-based. It’s important to differentiate a source that simply uses the label for marketing (fake) purposes from one that has some elements required of an authentic source of evidence but is missing an appropriate degree of transparency (pseudo), or from one that is transparent and uses an exhaustive and critical approach to including information (authentic).

At the very least, here’s what to look for as you review an article or source:

  • Statement of the purpose, objective, or a specific question(s)
  • Method of the search, appraisal, inclusion criteria
  • Summary of recommendations (You may need to look for an overall methodology if the source is a compilation of various pieces of evidence. Look in the opening pages or description or another page in a Web source.)
  • A rating system with an explanation of the meaning of the ratings
  • References

Instructions
