It would be great if you could back up your statements with citations so the burden of proof wasn't on me doing research in Google Scholar.

- mrkurt 11y ago"Search for these terms on Google Scholar" is a pretty good citation.
- pmelendez 11y agoIt is actually less useful that sending people to the library. Google scholar is just an index and often points to papers that require a payment (without we knowing if the article is good or not). If instead OP would give a citation then one could go directly to that source.
- mrkurt 11y agoHis biggest point was "there's a tremendous body of research about X", though. Unless there's a magical meta paper that supports that, it's difficult to cite something specific.
- oh_sigh 11y agoOkay, so instead of 1000 people seeing the exact links, now 1000 people all have to do a search and find them themselves.
