The American Institute of Physics – Bias and Credibility

The American Institute of Physics - Pro Science - Credible

Factual Reporting: Very High - Credible - Reliable

PRO-SCIENCE

These sources consist of legitimate science or are evidence-based through the use of credible scientific sourcing.  Legitimate science follows the scientific method, is unbiased, and does not use emotional words.  These sources also respect the consensus of experts in the given scientific field and strive to publish peer-reviewed science. Some sources in this category may have a slight political bias but adhere to scientific principles. See all Pro-Science sources.

  • Overall, we rate the American Institute of Physics (AIP) a low-biased pro-science source covering the scientific fields of physics.
