A Word of Warning
In addition to many credible sources of academic material Google Scholar also indexes the open web for anything that looks like a academic paper; that is, anything with a title at the top, a list of authors, bibliography etc.
Some fringe groups have taken advantage of this in order to lend credibility and legitimacy to their ideas.
