The best scientific evidence comes from well-designed,systematically conducted research studies,usually found in peer-reviewed scientific journals.A good textbook incorporates current evidence into the practice guidelines and procedures it describes.However,a textbook relies on the scientific literature,and sometimes information on a particular topic is outdated by the time a book is published.Peer-reviewed material is better than online information or recent popular magazines.
