There seems to have been a medieval saying "doctorat vaut chevalerie" (doctorate worth a knighthood). That's nice !

Dear academics the idea of 'citable source' is nonsense. All sources are citable, each needs to be assessed. This 'citable' idea seems to be an excuse not to acknowledge the work of non-academics. If you want to prioritise peer reviewed academic research, fine. But cite all your sources
