Every attempt is made to link to relevant scientific literature to back up our theories and claims. When clicking on links you may find yourself at the article abstract pages of pubmed or the relevant journal sites. These sites have paywalls preventing you from reading beyond the abstract. You may utilize Sci-hub to read almost any journal article in it's entirety by taking the doi number of the abstract (usually found under "details") and placing it into sci-hub's search bar.
