Taking a lot of careful precautions.

  • Design the sample (if any) with care so that there are no systematic sources of bias,
  • look for and eliminate [as far as is possible] any external factors that might affect the experiment,
  • Calibrate all measuring equipment carefully,
  • Carry out the experiment with double-blind procedures so that no single person has complete knowledge of all the factors until all data have been collected. For example, a person giving a patient a placebo may unconsciously send out signals to the patient who may then respond differently.
