THE NEW SCIENTIST REFERENCE SECTION.

This is the extensive reference section, there are another 100 scientific references to be added.

The scientific reference section that follows relates to scientific publications between 2001 and 2007, well over half of the hypotheses in the book, (C) The Brain! Natures Own Computer, was recorded in other copyrighted books that I have written between 1988 and 1995. I could not publish these books: academic journals and book publishers are only interested in work offered to them from Universities. I had to wait for the Universities to publish work that ties in with my work.

There has been further problems getting my work published because it involves four scientific disciplines, Biology, Psychology, Psychiatry, and Electronics. Science book publishers usually specialise and have consultants in one subject only.

Remember, this book is primarily for children, and people that do not read science and these people know very little about science writing. This is why this book was laid out with short blocks of text, this is easier on the eyes, and less stress for the reader whilst they are reading.

There now follows a brief explanation as to what a reference section is in a science book and why it is there.

Scientists not only create their own theories and work, they like to read other scientists work, particularly if other scientists work is similar to their own work. This other scientists published work ( printed matter ), is mentioned, listed, ( set out in a list ) in the reference section at the back of the book that the scientist has created. These references are also called citations, cite ( quote a book or author as evidence for an argument ).

The reference list must be a reference to other scientists work that supports the work in the created book, adds credibility, < honest support proof ) to the work that the scientist has created in his book.

Such a list of other scientists work shortly follows. This list of other scientists work has to have peer credibility, this means that the other scientists work referred to in this book must come from a university or organisation recognised to be expert in the subject matter.

The reference work known as a paper has to be written by a professor or a person that has a masters degree, ( this person had to learn the work in their subject of interest, to a very high level, and had to pass a very hard examination to get this university degree ). These people are experts in their chosen subjects. An expert has credibility, ( able to be believed >.

As this book is for children my reference list has a short note with each reference that explains the importance of the reference. Explanation notes are not normally provided. They are provided in this book to show how a citation or reference should be used. The important parts of a reference must relate to the authors work, so I have listed the points in the reference that tie up with my work in this book.

There are not many books listed in this reference section, I read science magazines of the highest quality where university work is published and I read science news in on-line newspapers where scientists work is published together with the mention of their university or science foundation or organisation.

My main source of science information is the new scientist magazine and on line newspapers. The new scientist magazine is one of the most respected science magazines in the world. Only recent references of the last two years are listed, however, I have read the new scientist magazine for about twenty years.

I have laid out my references in an unusual manner, this is easier for me to do this way.

1. The name of the magazine.

2. The date of publication.

3. The reference page number.

4. The name of the author or reviewer.

5. The subject title.

6. The university or organisation and names of the people involved in the project.

7. Points of interest fact in the article.

Note. Often the article will start with a topic, In Brief, This Week, Comment, etc.

placebo, ( sugar tablet ). Ritalin treatment before adolescence
can cause long term depression as an adult. Intensive forms of
