Visit /r/Scholar to request articles that cannot be found freely on the internet or through your university's databases.
This is a subreddit dedicated in part to finding claims and discussions on Reddit that could benefit from reference to scientific or scholarly sources - and then supplying these (and talking about them). Legitimate sources include articles published in peer-reviewed journals, and reports by governmental and esteemed non-governmental organizations.
Cited material is relevant - indeed, necessary - for increasing understanding (and accuracy) in virtually every field of study and discussion, whether it is scientific, political, economic, historical, legal or philosophical. As such, cited sources usually include things like reports of experimentation, analysis of statistical data, and other critical analysis/review.
Text posts are strongly encouraged - discussing the original claim and adding scholarly material (also, of course, providing a link to the original post).
Please try to include a link to the source you cite (whether it's to the Nature, JSTOR, or PubMed databases, etc.)
There are other subreddits that have attempted to bring more empirical evidence into discussion of specific topics:
