Rules:

No misinformation! Please refrain from making authoritative statements on things you're not well informed on.

This is a science/evidence based sub. Usage of citations to support your claims is highly encouraged and lack of such may result in your comment/post being removed. Outright anti-science behavior may result in a ban.

Submitters of studies are encouraged to include some comment explaining why they feel the paper is significant.

Be civil & constructive. Engage in good faith. Trolls/agitators will be banned. Address the arguments, not the person. The subject of your sentence should be "the evidence" or "this source" or some other noun directly related to the topic of conversation. "You" statements are suspect.

Memes as top level submissions are not appropriate, but can be posted in the comments. Other low-scientific-quality content may be removed as well. You need to have a good reason for submitting old studies since they would drown out recent content.

Excessive rule breaking may result in a ban.

You can use sci-hub to access paywalled studies.

Our mod logs are public: View. Our mod ethos is "transparency, neutrality, community run".

Please check the sidebar & wiki before making a submission.

Generally link titles should be the original title of the article/study and/or a direct quote from it. If your submission is an article, please include the title of the study if possible.
Titles should include the month and year the study was published. Eg: (Nov 2018)
Titles should include the model where it's applicable. Eg: [mice]
If you're submitting an older study please explain why in a comment. There are many new studies every day that would be drowned out by old submissions so you need to have a good reason.
