It's more in-depth than an average Joe would care to get. And you're right- it would cost a lot because it's a whole long-term project that a group of people would be needed to do.Aritê gunê Akasahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03619166885106439477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4748832844228334272.post-35877623562669401862013-02-22T12:09:15.246-05:002013-02-22T12:09:15.246-05:00I'm going to have to run through their archive...I'm going to have to run through their archives, then.

But yeah, the cost that would entail leaves me raising an eyebrow, especially when all the information is available to the public! It's a lovely thought and I can see the need for it, but is it practical right now?

There already is a good searchable database readily accessible to the public. It's called Google Scholar.Aritê gunê Akasahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03619166885106439477noreply@blogger.com
