as per np or self published expert sources may be considered reliable when produced by an established expert on the topic of the article whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable third party publications caution should be exercised when using such sources if the information in question is really worth reporting someone else is likely to have done so self published sources should never be used as third party sources about living persons even if the author is an expert or well known professional researcher or writer the simple fact that noone has already done so is evidence that either a nobody has noticed or b nobody dares try if such a paper has even been produced by a professional which through my research it hasn't then which journal would publish this information only in the case of a would it be np or but to say that nobody has noticed this is utterly absurd it is plain to see even to a child
