Fair enough. I was just trying to make the point that something being on pubmed doesn't mean its anything close to an NIH recommendation and chose arxiv as it would be familiar to a CS audience.
- surrogatekey 9y agoLots of people in health research do treat pubmed as a gatekeeper though (sometimes foolishly imo). It is more exclusive than both Google Scholar and arxiv -- but also like you say, not a guarantee of quality + not the kind of resource where you can read one article and be like "here's what NIH says." So semantics, I guess. Just felt compelled to mention it, probably more because it frustrates me to see health researchers use pubmed as their only gateway to scholarly lit.
