Around five million scientific articles are published every year. Because they are written by experts for other experts in the field, it is generally hard to judge their credibility as a layperson. However, there are still some general rules and heuristics that can be used to evaluate them. In this talk, I will provide a gentle introduction to the topic. As a recent PhD graduate in the field of biomathematical cancer research, my focus will be on biomedical topics; however, the general approach equally applies to all (natural) sciences.
