Scientific data for your Articles!

Hey,

I know that a lot of readers love to share blog posts that contain scientific data.

For example, when I search Google for "Recent studies about [my niche]'', I don't see any Directories or Journals that contain the latest research and studies, I only see other blogs discussing this studies.

I know that researchers often publish their latest scientific findings in different Journals.

Is there any Directories or Websites similar to Wikipedia that has ALL the scientific studies in the world about a specific topic?

    I get a lot of good data from Google Scholar.

    You can filter it to get the most current information. Some of the search results will be to paid subscriptions to scientific and medical journals. Even then there is usually a free abstract or sometimes several pages of information that may contain what you need without having to subscribe.

    Another trick is to follow the links posted in the references. Since this is all scholarly content there are almost always great references listed to other similar material.

      Thanks Janice, I never thought about following References, sounds like a great idea, hope it works out for me, I'm very impressed of bloggers who are successful in explaining the undigestable scientific data to their plain English readers.

      This might look odd, but I have never heard of '' Google Scholar '' LOL

      Hope it has some good data

    Google Scholar is good.

    Here's another query to try:

    peer reviewed journal [topic]

    For example, I just tried "peer reviewed journals obesity" since so many warrior members are in the weight loss market, and came up with a long list of articles.

    change that to

    peer reviewed articles obesity

    and the studies themselves (or at least the article reporting the study) come up.

    But be prepared, this kind of article is not exactly light bedtime reading. But if you can put it in plain language and relate why the findings are meaningful, it does wonders for your authority.

      I Agree, this can take your authority to the next level -

      The hard part is trying to understand those scientific findings and explaining in them in plain English, because of the time, the text is undigestable.

    Consider hiring grad students in local universities who are specializing in your scientific topics to do the research for you. With some coaching on your writing style and publication slant, they can quite often be competent article producers. What I've done is just place ads in campus newspapers, common areas, bulletin boards, etc.

    Yes, Google scholar is such a helpful tool.

    It's effective and user-friendly.

    Another great way to find scholarly articles is to visit the sites of well-known universities. Most of these universities have a dedicated section for press/blog.

    Google Scholar is one of the best places you should take a look at.

    Google Scholar would be your best bet. I also suggest you look into meta studies or meta analysis studies within your niche. Those are the studies that compile all the different studies available to see if their results are consistent or whether there's a pattern. They're also easier to understand compared to most research studies.

    That's why being able to explain them in plain English, and show people why they're relevant to the reader, is such a valuable skill.
