| dc.description.abstract | Researchers are judged by their best work. No matter what disasters happen at the researcher’s bench, there is time to repeat experiments, discard ambiguous data and work steadily toward a clearer understanding of the research problem. The work practices of researchers are matters of personal choice, because the process of peer review prior to publication considers only the work that is reported and not all work done by the researcher. On the other hand, the diagnostician’s credibility is directly linked to every experiment performed, because a customer is waiting for the result. This paper contrasts aspects of the work of researchers and diagnosticians and concludes that researchers could benefit from understanding the framework within which diagnosticians operate. | en |
