Health

Other sources

The following are sources that are not deemed reliable enough to justify a statement but still are amazingly useful sources, sorted by category. It is by no means an exhaustive list.

General

Health

Economics

  • Worthwhile Canadian Initiative: Canadian economics blog by several Canadian university professors

  • The Tax Protester FAQ: A large collection of debunked pseudo-legal arguments used by so-called 'tax protestors' in court. Sharing much in common with pseudo-science, this body of pseudo-law is often as imaginative as it is absurd.

I think a disclaimer should be added for arxiv. They allow many self-published non peer reviewed papers, so it isn't necessarily a reputable source. – Sonny Ordell Mar 21 '12 at 23:19
@SonnyOrdell: That's why arxiv is under "other sources" rather than under reliable sources. – Borror0♦ Mar 22 '12 at 7:59
@Borror0 Ahh of course, I'm not sure how I missed that. Sorry. – Sonny Ordell Mar 22 '12 at 23:57

What is wrong with google scholar and books - they provide access to scholarly books and peer reviewed atricles – David Apr 8 '12 at 2:04
Google Scholar contains most scientific publication. I fail to see how it can be classified as "Other sources" – Zonata Sep 3 '12 at 6:28
Not all that is in google scholar is peer reviewed. Also, google scholar result pages are not sources in themselves. – Sklivvz♦ Feb 27 at 16:27
