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

You: aren’t you the guy that hid in my backseat to scare me for like three days?

Toby: No!

Toby: It was five.

I love slow burn but sometimes I just want to literally jump into my phone screen to fight EXTREMELY, ABSURDLY, OUTRAGEOUSLY, oblivious characters that wouldn’t get the hint even if it was thrown at their faces in the form of a rock. :)

Anti HC's

-------

Tws: None

-Anti is literally such an attention whore. He will do ANYTHING for attention, and if he doesnt get it, he acts out sort of like a toddler would

-Anti refuses to tell his S/O that he WANTS physical affection and will instead make up stupid reasons to why they should cuddle/hug, so instead of asking to cuddle or hug he will be like "I will die right now of a heart attack if I do not get a hug, I can feel it in my non-existent soul"

-Loves to make mischief, will constantly prank you like always, he wants to create as much havoc as he possibly can

-Will give you random trinkets he finds, whether it be he bought it, he stole it, or just found it on the ground, sometimes you'll wake up with the most random things on your nightstand. Like a bolt, or a screw, or a bracelet, or a tin foil ball, its so random

-Doesn't sleep but will pretend to sleep just so he can have you in his arms, he will stay still for hours holding you as you sleep, just so he can admire you. Not that he would EVER admit that, no, he has far too much pride.
