The most concerning aspect when evaluating this information is reliability. The vague language, omission of findings, and the way the results were published (not in a scientific journal) cast doubt on the trustworthiness and validity of the research.
Use the paragraph to answer the question.
A mining company hires a team of scientists to research how their mines impact local wildlife. They are not happy with the results, so they wait a few years to publish. They do not include the name of their company in the publication. The language is vague and some findings are omitted. The results are published online, not in a scientific journal.
