It is of paramount importance that the data presented on this website is accurate. A good deal of time is spent checking for errors at each step in the collection and processing procedure so that that which is displayed is both accurate and meaningful. The website reader is also important in this process. To this end if you have any concerns or queries about any data item or group please email me straight away. I believe that it is important that any concerns are checked and corrected or at least explained as soon as possible.
Involvement in this research
The success and usefulness of research of this sort relies on the quality of the data collected as well as the size of the sample collected. Some Reiki practitioners with a small client base seem to think that their data is not as useful as a Reiki practitioner with a large client base. I believe that this is wrong. A large number of Reiki practitioners with a small client base is just as useful, if not more so. It could be argued that to have a large number of Reiki practitioners involved in sharing their data would be a very important way to reduce any possible data skew derived from any single Reiki practitioner.
