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

executive dysfunction is legitimately physically uncomfortable. i’ll be trapped between two things, weirdly caught on how-much-time-it-might-take-me. i take hours worried im going to take hours doing things. i’ll sit on the floor for the entire day, caught up in the middle of not-doing the chores i actually do want to be doing.

& the amount of mental energy that goes into it. & the legitimate amount of anger and discomfort and self-hate. is not “being lazy”.  it’d be a lot less work if i didn’t have to fight myself to just get up and do it. 

i just need you to understand it’s not effortless. it’s never effortless. it’s not “okay let me just get up and finally start doing this.” it’s more like. i am slamming my foot on the pedal but the car is in neutral and nothing is moving. it’s more like shouting instructions into a dying telephone. it’s more like being trapped in a small electric box, and someone who hates me is administering shocks. 

im trying. im trying. please help me get up.

JRR TOLKIEN QUOTES. a collection of jrr tolkien's novel quotes. change verbiage and pronouns as needed.

where there's life, there's hope.

there is some good in this world and it's worth fighting for.

the wise speak only of what they know.

false hopes are more dangerous than fears.

courage is found in unlikely places.

moonlight drowns out al but the brightst stars.

i would rather spend one lifetime with you, than face all the ages of this world alone.

i will not say do not weep, for not all tears are evil.

little by little, one travels far.

the world is not in your maps and books. it's out there.

all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is give to us.

it is no bad thing to celebrate a simple life.

no, the journey doesn't end here.

death is just another path, one that we must all take.

all that is gold does not glitter.

not all those who wander are lost.

i would have gone with you to the end.

it is not the strength of the body, but the strength of the spirit.

a man that flies from his fear may find that he has only taken a shortcut to meet it.

faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.

i would have followed you my brother, my captain, my king.

many that live deserve death. and some that die deserve life.

no man can kill me.

don't go where i can't follow.

do not spoil the wonder with haste!

you can only come to the morning through the shadows.
