- This output is an extensive interdisciplinary examination of the translation of journal science into clinical/professional practice, social and health policy and vernacular understandings. It required sustained and detailed research into a large body of primary science, including the examination of methodological appendices in neuroscientific animal studies. The field is extensive and complex. The book examines the normative assumptions underpinning research design, particularly in relation to animal models intended to simulate human parenting. This required a forensic examination of knowledge claims, the conditions in which they were generated and citations practice through which they become established as facts.
