Skip Google for Research

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.  It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms 

As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable.  As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.

Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

⁂

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.

www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.

https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.

www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.

http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.

www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.

www.pdfdrive.com is the largest website for free download of books in PDF format. Claiming over 225 million names.

www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents, 70% of them are free

FELLOW TRAVELERS 1x06 // 1x08

Things the MDZS fandom desperately needs, if they do not already exist:

A reference page of Chinese words and terms used frequently in canon and how to correctly spell them.  (I.e. all the various common forms of address/titles, different ways to say brother, words like jinshi, etc. )

A giant flowchart of the differences between the plot in the various versions of the story, so I can figure out exactly which version of canon I’m borrowing from in my fic and/or if I’m accidentally borrowing from someone else’s fic.

A list of all the book chapters and brief spoilery summary of what happens in each one.  So if I want to go look something up to reference it, I have at least a place to start in looking for it.  With all the flashbacks, any scene could be freaking anywhere.  (Except for Chapter 100.  I know what happens in Chapter 100.)

as a queer person #FellowTravelers already means a lot, but THIS episode8-finale ep-ending scene? this scene means absolutely the world, it's everything, for all of us.🌈 can't watch it without sobbing.
