Growing internet also poses challenges Revenue based retrieval Anybody and everybody can write Anybody can tag and optimize search criteria!!

Unfocused, herd activity of disowning quality shakingconventional research fundamentals Plagiarism (knowingly or unknowingly) Absence of a clear cut quality process Lacking criteria of inclusion

What is searched? And What is not? (Sources Unclear) How much of my subject am I really exposed to?

Whats wrong with generic web?
