need two-three people who could review something for me AND who have some experience with issues of reliability & validity. don't know what I can promise in return, except (of course) massive amounts of gratitude for the extra eyeballs.

Can you be more specific about this 'something'? Reliability/validity makes me think of statistics and experimental design, but that could just be my psych major showing.

[kaigou]

psych major! score! in which case, you probably know already what I mean -- I was being vague so as not to leave out the self-taught in the crowd.

[manifesta]

I'm not an expert, but I can try. If you PM/email me at manifesta @ dreamwidth dot org with it I'll try and get back to you by tonight.

And what sort of review you want -- there's a vast gulf between 'evaluate for readability and charm' and 'evaluate for statistical validity and correct experimental design'.

[kaigou]

well, more like: whatever you're able to give me, of either of those -- though for the former, that's not quite as much of an issue (right now) because there's a larger pool of folks I know who are capable in that. with the validity, not so much -- that's much more a specialized skill, which is why I mentioned that and reliability.

Not a graduate level academic, merely a practising lawyer with a good eye for gaps or unfounded leaps in evidence-based argument. Happy to help out if you think that way of seeing would be useful.
