mainstream science ignores the research because i mainstream scientists are not with very few exceptions doing any research on tm the overwhelming majority of this research is being done by a handful of people all with ties to mum and the m org and ii virtually none of it ever gets cited in any other research other than again by the same small circle of tm sponsored researchers reread wp set because is specifically warns that google news and google scholar are not appropriate for what you propose trying to weigh the relative prominence of one i have proposed a metric for the research portion of this article use only the studies which per wp medrs are regarded as the most reliable and that would be the handful of metastudies published in peer reviewed jounals which have done the job that the editors here are frankly incapable of doing determining which of the hundreds of peer reviewed studies on meditation were properly conducted and appropriately documented and then assess whether or not they show anything significant and i am happy to stand by my edits and my history of achieving consensus whereever and whenever other editors are actually interested in consensus
