Welcome!
Hello, Aberezov123, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:07, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Studies as sources
Hi! I saw that you moved your work live - the article looks great! My only caution is that if you have used studies as sources, be aware that it needs to be accompanied by secondary reliable sources. The reasons for this are that the studies are primary sources for any of the research conducted by its creators, who are also typically the authors of the study. As such, the secondary sources help verify the claims, as well as provide context since studies typically only survey a small portion of the population they are studying. There's also that the publishers only really review the works to ensure that there are no glaring errors that would immediately invalidate the study. They don't provide commentary and it's still possible for faulty research to make it through this process. A good example of this is the Bogdanov affair, with this section covering the weaknesses of the peer-review system.

All that you'd really need to do is just find and provide a secondary source that covers the study (like the awesome literature reviews you have in the article - good job on those!) or the specific part of the study you used for the article claims.

 * Thank you for your feedback! I'll go back add secondary sources to make sure the information is sound and up to date. -Anna Aberezov123 (talk) 16:32, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
