Researching links

I just saw that you were looking for research links from the users if they wished to. What links are you looking for exactly? Because I personally use planetdebate which has quite an extensive resource material for researching, and I do have some topic specific links I could send over. Are you looking to develop a resource base similar to that of DDO, where they have a topic specific research kit and the links are from DDO itself, or would you prefer some topic specific good research material to be sent your way? Or a database of good debate research sites?

Which of those options would be most useful to you / others? I haven't actually decided many specifics about that.

admin: If I'm looking at topic specific research links, I personally prefer research papers since usually (good) research papers outline the dynamics of a topic pretty comprehensively. Rather than debates on the site itself, which is usually people arguing for the debate rather than because any sort of investment to the subject.

Database of good research sites is good, but I'm not sure if it would be useful to people willing to research on a debate site, since its mostly a kind of encyclopedia for everything. I think you could endorse the (planetdebate-esque) research encyclopedias for people who'd like that, and actively endorse topic specific research papers/ positions.

If its not too much work.

But I do think it'd be a lot more helpful.

Cermank: Also, good research databases are usually paid, so there's that too.

Cermank: OK, cool. Tell me things to endorse then! I'll be sure to add a planetdebate link somewhere once I've done this "keeping records of chats" update.

admin: Awesome! I'll send them over tomorrow once I get on my PC. :-)

Cermank: Cool.
