Finding Reliable Technical Information Online: A Scientist's Guide

[DonKiwi]

I have recently spent a frustrating amount of time trawling through online pages searching in vain for specific technical information. I am a refugee from the white noise of irrelevant data, uninformed opinion and misguided search results of these endeavours. I hope my questions will be of interest to others as I anticipate any answers to be.

Hi. Thanks for the welcome. I only just saw it after getting lost in navigation and shaking rust from my brain in answering a question which a member had asked. I will see before long if it is appreciated or whether I am run out of this town on a rail. :)
