Thanks for the link, but i prefer to read from original sources. Mostly the pop-sci articles appears after some considerable delay. There is much more you can get from scientific databases. Citations, similar and related articles. Without ads and all this commercial shit you know. A big quantity of articles are free of charge. When they are not than goes google and pop-sci))) And the most thing about that is that you can know methodology that was used and what criteria and data analysis lead to conclusions. As you have stated earlier not every study is real study.
I prefer to read papers from:
https://researchgate.net
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
http://www.jneurosci.org/
and so on...
I don't have open access to all journals any more. google scholar is a step away really. they often site the papers in the pop-sci articles.
