Some some mistake scientific publications as science, but that is incorrect. They are records of people doing science and presenting what they have done so other scientists can review, retest, share and build on knowledge. Any one particular study infact tells us very little. It's like reading a single chapter of novel, you're not getting the whole story. It's also why meta-analysis is an extremely important aspect of scientific research.
