Consider the Following: "A Key Guiding Principle of Interdisciplinary Analysis

question 17

Multiple Choice

Consider the following: "A key guiding principle of interdisciplinary analysis is that no piece of scholarly research is perfect. If we accept that no scholarly method can guide a researcher flawlessly towards insight, then it follows that scholarly results may reflect researcher biases. This does not mean that results reflect only such biases, as some in the field of science studies have claimed. But it does mean that one way of evaluating the insights generated by research is to interrogate researcher bias" (Szostak, 2009, p. 331) .
From this we can infer the following about scholarly research:
1) No scholarly research is perfect because it is skewed by predispositions and biases.
2) Research is a matter of mere opinion or flawed approach.
3) All researchers, including interdisciplinary researchers, should be transparent in their biases.
4) Researcher bias should be included in the criteria we use to evaluate our own work, as well as the work of others.

• A) Statements 1, 3, and 4 are correct.
• B) Statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct.
• C) Only statement 2 is correct.
• D) No statements are correct.
