No problem. It's not complete yet though, I'm trying to find some research sites for other subjects which are more specific. Also, a few of the websites I've provided require a password. Some schools will have passwords for these, others won't... I've suggested people PM me for my school's pw if their school doesn't have one, however I don't know how this will work on viki? wikipedia?
Lol, Wikipedia isn't accepted as a reference by the majority of teachers. |

it wont  it'll be along the lines of "requires subscription: contact your school to check your subscription details" wikipedia?
Lol, Wikipedia isn't accepted as a reference by the majority of teachers. it is actually quite comprehensive and correct [if not over the top] for science topics. =) my teachers support it =P |

It can be good, however I think students need to move beyond google and wikipedia. My teachers will not accept it as a point of reference. I went on a page and found that someone had written a whole lot of crap on adhesive capsulitis which had been there for MONTHS, and it sounded really credible too. Besides, my aim was to provide websites which many students wouldn't have heard of which are very useful. Most people know of wikipedia, so it would be a little pointless lol. |

Britannica and print publications are things of the past |

Britannica and print publications are things of the past Actually, the fact that some of it isn't reliable is a good reason not to use it as a reference for projects. My teachers don't discourage us from using wikipedia to enhance our knowledge, however they won't accept it as a reference for a project or essay, and rightly so. Instead they encourage us to see the original journal articles and interpret them for ourselves. No, the internet is one of the biggest resources central to our time. To only use google and wikipedia, and not access all the other great websites which has a wealth of information, is absolutely stupid lol. But yeah, I've added it anyway. It is a good website to increase your knowledge etc |

heres another search engine (not sure u have heard of it); errr.....google
Hence the 'other than google' tag. it is actually quite comprehensive and correct [if not over the top] for science topics. =)

People always say this but a large majority of the information isn't cited anyway from what I've seen and I've had trouble following that advice with my uni work, so I tend to move to other sources. |
