We are pleased to announce that the CERIC Method is now in print anywhere books are sold. How to Critically Read the Scientific Research Literature: Introducing the CERIC Method, authored by Genevive Bjorn and Adam J. Burgasser, was published by Cambridge University Press in July 2026. The book provides a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to evaluating scientific research articles using the CERIC framework — the same method taught through our online courses and workshops.

It stands alone as a comprehensive guide and works seamlessly alongside the CERIC Method online courses for a complete learning experience.
