Books That Cite This Blog

I find that it's easier to locate old posts by searching Google rather than using Typepad's internal search function. Today I was searching for a post and didn't realize that I was searching Google Books.

I learned that this blog has been referenced in a few books. For example, Encyclopedia of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders, Evelyn B. Kelly, Greenwood Publishing, cites this post on sugar and ADHD. Funny thing is I don't even remember posting this, though I remember the research findings.

I'm not surprised when I see Dr X cited in Wikipedia, but I had never considered that someone would cite my blog in a "real" book from a real publisher.

Considering that there's a lot of junk (science and otherwise) that's published in "real" books by "real" publishers, I find it amusing that there's this tendency to discount something available only on the internet simply because it's only on the internet.

Before the internet when the junk was published only in "real" books, it was a lot harder to double check the information.

You're right Donna, and my post is evidence of that discounting tendency in me. In this case, I'm the guy posting something on the internet and I'm assuming that academic publishers would shy away from citing an internet post for authority. The internet has indeed made us--well some of us--into a nation of helpful checkers and reviewers, which is a good thing.

X; Your writing speaks for itself, you know your subject and you explain it well.
I recall asking you a few questions and am impressed with the easily understandable, complete , and concise answers.
I want to see DrX the book!
