All scientific research referred to, reported, or used in support or justification of a patient care recommendation must conform to the generally accepted standards of experimental design, data collection and analysis. If you refer to research that does not meet the generally accepted standards as described above, then you should indicate this and disclose that the patient recommendations are anecdotal.
