Research Resource

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

What is your favorite source for research? Not just science information, but anything.

[Phi for All]

Wikipedia, HowStuffWorks.com, MotionMountain.net.

 

Can't wait to get others, good idea Cap'n!

Caught an article somewhere this morning, I think it was at Neowin.net, saying that the Wikipedia was over one million articles now.

 

I guess my biggest complaint about Wikipedia would be that it could use Google's bad spelling fixer. I've lost track of the number of times I've failed to find something in the Wikipedia, gone over to Google, and found the first entry from Google's search results to be an article in the Wikipedia (spelled correctly). (hehe)

 

Google is usually my first stop, but lately it's becoming my first stop *after* Wikipedia.

Let's see... google... wikipedia... sfn... other people...

I just wish I had more!

I do like Science magazine's website to catch up on the latest stuff: luckily my uni has a campus license so I can access it whenever.
