Book:
The Chemistry of Connection:
How the Oxytocin Response Can Help Find Trust, Intimacy, and Love
Evaluation: Previewing this book gave me the fundamentals I was looking for in a book (a more personal approach), credibility (even though author has only written one book on this topic), cited works/bibliography, and citations after each statement. This book seems to reach out to my research topic in the bonding aspect of Oxytocin. I have decided if the author turns out to be disreputable or an extremist then the source will be effaced from my argumentative paper to make sure I remain scholarly and accurately credible.
Website:
Oxytocin.org
- Author/s: Several credible qualified doctors who have completed clinical studies in a professional manner.
Evaluation: This website is an .org manner, but kept exclusively as library of data involving my topic. It includes very credible information written by highly educated individuals from universities across the globe (including doctors, teachers, experimentalists). The page is well kept, includes dates and citations for all of clinical and lab studies as well as any information provided. The audience focused on by this website is selectively for individuals who are interested in the progress research of Oxytocin.The purpose of the website is to provide accurate and precise information for further research. The rhetorical stand point the website has on the topic is unbiased and provides no sides to the argument except for extra information of the topic. This webpage is extremely timely with a solid table of contents transferring you directly to the source of information without any advertisements nor any broken links. Yes it is a primary material and cites all "original" sources in a organized and structured manner. No search engine.
Periodical/Article:
- Article Title: Methods for Cervical Ripening and Induction of Labor
- Periodical Title: AARP, American Academy of Family Physicians
Author: JOSIE L. TENORE, M.D., S.M., Northwestern University Medical School, Chicago, Illinois
Date Published: May 15, 2003
Volume/Pages: 67(10):2123-2128.
Evaluation: First off this source is very much scholarly and credible, found under the American Academy of Family Physicians Periodical which seems to provide quality information available to the general public. This article was written by a medical doctor primarily focusing on the progress of birth/labor. Pertaining to the purpose of Oxytocin in the labor process when it deviates from the plan, along with many substitutes used for the same purpose. A generally wide perspective is obtained from the article since the author himself is there when the Oxytocin is administered and see's the effects first hand. As for the credibility of this article, I entrust AARP to remain accredited during the process of developing the argumentative paper.
