On doc changes
The original source library was created as a Google document on June 15, 2019, but was flagged without warning nor reason on December 6, 2020. It was recreated as another Google doc and lasted until late November 2022. It has since moved to this new location. As it has been taken down multiple times before, it’s possible it could be taken down again. Feel free to download these webpages onto your own device as an html or archive it with a webpage archiver.

If you want to look further into reading studies so you can more critically analyze them and etc, give this a look. This sort of stuff is especially helpful for beginners, and plenty of guides like this exist online in case the one linked here isn’t helpful.
-
It’s highly recommended that you at least skim some of these sources and become familiar with some of them. Citing these blindly is a risky and often bad-faith thing to do. Take your time learning about subjects before trying to talk about them.

For clarity, this is NOT Vaush’s Ultimate Research Document. We did start this as a copy of his doc, but no, they’re not the same thing.
