where to find scientific studies and reliable statistics

It's a free, open, academic program that you can run on your computer. It allows you to look at how different country stats have changed over time.

For anything else, I presume some Googling would reveal the answers. If you can't find it on Google Scholar, try going to an actual journal (i.e. Nature, Science, etc) and doing a search.

thanks for the suggestions! gapminder looks promising. exactly what I was looking for in terms of statistics. For other scholarly research though its a real pain to have to subscribe to all these journals, more or less find the best ones. Though those journals you mentioned are great, I've never checked out any search tools of theirs, I guess I should.
Anyone have any other recommendations for research. What besides google do people use in the midst of a debate?
