> Having found a peer-reviewed paper is step one.Reading it from end to end
is step two. Now the real work begins, as one strives to understand the
content of the paper.
I completely concur with Jerry!
I've been reading, analyzing, and rereading de Groot's monumental 83-page
paper (not counting the pages of citations) for several years (word-by-word
three times through last month alone), along with dozens of other papers on
bee and animal nutrition. It took that many reads of de Groot, filtered
through the lens of all the other associated research, to reach the eureka
moment that I needed to explain the results of a large-scale trial of the
commercial pollen subs that I started in August and completed yesterday.
The performance of the 7 tested subs appears to have been totally
predictable from their chemical analyses.
I will soon be publishing a paper and a calculator that may be of great
benefit to those wishing to develop better-performing pollen subs.
In retrospect, it surprises me just how many hundreds of hours of reading,
analyzing, digesting the literature, and creating countless spreadsheets to
finally put together what was right in front of my face all the time!
