For example, writing an article about the side effects of Accutane should err on the side of pulling in research articles first for higher quality information and not blog posts.
Interesting, I'm taking isotretinoin right now and I've found it's more interesting and useful to me to read "real" experiences (from reddit and blogs) than research papers.
I just want to hear about how other people have felt while taking the medicine. I don't care about aggregate statistics very much. Honestly what research do you read and for what purpose? All social science is basically junk and most medical research is about people whose bodies and lifestyles are very different than mine.
Wear lots of (mineral) sunscreen, and drink lots and lots of water. La Roche Posey lotions are what I used, and continue to use with tretinoin. Sunscreen is the most important.
Great advice, already quite on top of it. I'd recommend checking out stylevana and importing some of the japanese/korean sunscreens if you haven't tried them out yet!

Can you elaborate? What information are you gleaning from anecdotes that is both reliable and efficacious enough to outweigh research?
I'm not trying to challenge your point, I am genuinely curious.
