I don't know about CompSci research. However I do http://outcomereference.com/ http://outcomereference.com/ which is just a side-project and read about 2-3 medical research papers everyday and the biggest challenge is open access to papers. It is possible to find the PDFs on various research sites but the vast majority is costly (avg $40 per paper). Not sure if there is free & open access for CompSci research?

- imranq 10y agoI like the idea of scientifically vetting foods, but as you said it might be hard coming up with a balanced viewpoint if you are not considering all the research. Also might be helpful to consider the impact factor of each paper you are citing.
- matt4077 10y agoLet me get my smart-ass instinct out of the way first: journals have impact factors, not papers :) But it doesn't really matter because it's a somewhat-empty vanity-metric anyway. For assessing clinical trials (and aggregating their results) the Cochrane collaboration is probably the gold standard. Here's something I found on their method to evaluate trial quality: http://www.bmj.com/content/343/bmj.d5928 http://www.bmj.com/content/343/bmj.d5928

- nl 10y agoIn CompSci it's pretty rare for there not to be open access versions of a major paper. Off the top of my head there have been a few in Nature but outside that almost everything ends up as open access.
