On one hand, I like the publishing policy of NIH, because more dissemination of information is a good thing.
But on the other, so many people gloss over or are just blatantly unaware that NIH specifically doesn't endorse anything about anything published there, that they're just a clearing house. And then people either infer authority from the domain, or they use that to consciously or subconsciously push their belief.
- lamontcg 3y agoIt is the National Library of Medicine, which is a database maintained by NIH. The journal this article is from is from is Cureus: https://www.cureus.com/ https://www.cureus.com/ Their tagline seems to be "publishing beyond open access" and to my eye at least looks like a 3rd tier journal. But NIH really has nothing to do with it, they're just a catalog. Libraries have tons of bullshit in them. You are supposed to be the filter.
