The authors used a randomized study to evaluate a research experience in equivalent introductory biology courses at a 4-yr and a 2-yr institution. They found that unique barriers exist at 2-yr institutions that preclude student engagement. Students, instructors, and support staff needed a more comprehensive implementation strategy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
