StudyFinds

Online/Digital
StudyFinds sets out to find new research that speaks to mass audiences — without all the scientific jargon. The stories we publish are digestible, summarized versions of research that are intended to stir debate: We do not agree nor disagree with any of the studies we post, rather, we encourage our readers to debate the veracity of the findings themselves. All studies and surveys published on StudyFinds are vetted by our editors for proper and unbiased research methods. We are always transparent in who funded or is behind each article. Any research that has been retracted we will retract from our site with a correction. Should there be any content found inaccurate or erroneous, we will always issue corrections. Launched in December 2016, StudyFinds.org has quickly jumped onto the daily news scene with coverage of high-interest studies for the general population. Each day we seek out recently-conducted research released by universities, peer-reviewed journals, or established companies, with sources vetted by our experienced editorial team. Source
