I agree - this is a useful source on critical review of scientific papers from a general (non-medical) perspective. I had difficulty finding such information when I looked recently. For critical review of medical papers I would suggest UWE's course at http://hsc.uwe.ac.uk/dataanalysis/critIntro.asp and this article: www.medicine.ox.ac.uk/bandolier/painres/download/whatis/What_is_critical_appraisal.pdf<http://www.medicine.ox.ac.uk/bandolier/painres/download/whatis/What_is_critical_appraisal.pdf>.
