Ian Stevenson
Ian Stevenson
Ian Pretyman Stevenson (October 31, 1918 – February 8, 2007) was a Canadian-born U.S. psychiatrist.
 He worked for the University of Virginia School of Medicine for fifty years, as chair of the department of psychiatry from 1957 to 1967, Carlson Professor of Psychiatry from 1967 to 2001, and Research Professor of Psychiatry from 2002 until his death.
European Cases of the Reincarnation Type
European Cases of the Reincarnation Type is a 2003 book by psychiatrist Ian Stevenson, who conducted research into claims of reincarnation.
 The work focuses on different reincarnation research case studies in a Western setting.
 It was Stevenson's last book before he died in 2007.
Death of Dan Markingson
Dan Markingson (November 25, 1976 – May 8, 2004) was a young man from St. Paul, Minnesota who committed suicide in an ethically controversial psychiatric research study at the University of Minnesota while under an involuntary commitment order.
 For nearly eleven years University of Minnesota officials defended the conduct of its researchers, despite significant public criticism, numerous news reports, and pressure for an external investigation.
 In March 2015, however, an investigation by a state watchdog agency found a number of alarming ethical violations in the case, including serious conflicts of interest and financial incentives, poor oversight of the study, pressure on Markingson to join the study while he was in a highly vulnerable state, and a series of misleading public statements by university officials.
 Shortly afterwards, the university suspended recruitment into psychiatric research studies.
 On April 9, 2015, Charles Schulz, MD, announced his resignation as Chair of the Department of Psychiatry. Jim B. Tucker
Jim B. Tucker is a child psychiatrist and Bonner-Lowry Professor of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia School of Medicine.
 His main research interests are children who claim to remember previous lives, and natal and prenatal memories.
 He is the author of "Life Before Life: A Scientific Investigation of Children’s Memories of Previous Lives", which presents an overview of over four decades of reincarnation research at the Division of Perceptual Studies.
 Tucker worked for several years on this research with Ian Stevenson before taking over upon Stevenson’s retirement in 2002. Antonia Mills
Antonia (Tonia) Mills is a professor in First Nations studies at the University of Northern British Columbia, Canada.

The EQUATOR (Enhancing the QUAlity and Transparency Of health Research) Network is an international initiative aimed at promoting transparent and accurate reporting of health research studies to enhance the value and reliability of medical research literature.
 The EQUATOR Network was established with the goals of raising awareness of the importance of good reporting of research, assisting in the development, dissemination and implementation of reporting guidelines for different types of study designs, monitoring the status of the quality of reporting of research studies in the health sciences literature, and conducting research relating to issues that impact the quality of reporting of health research studies.
 The Network acts as an “umbrella” organisation, bringing together developers of reporting guidelines, medical journal editors and peer reviewers, research funding bodies, and other key stakeholders with a mutual interest in improving the quality of research publications and research itself. Evidence-based library and information practice
Evidence-based library and information practice (EBLIP) or evidence-based librarianship (EBL) is the application of the interdisciplinary approach known as evidence-based practice (EBP) to problems in the field of library and information science (LIS).
 This means that all practical decisions made within LIS should 1) be based on research studies and 2) that these research studies are selected and interpreted according to some specific norms characteristic for EBP.
 Typically such norms disregard theoretical studies and qualitative studies and consider quantitative studies according to a narrow set of criteria of what counts as evidence.
 If such a narrow set of methodological criteria are not applied, it is better instead to speak of "research based library and information practice." Armando Favazza
