Nursekey.com for articles

Has anyone used nursekey.com for research articles? I’ve been to the site and I cannot tell it’s legitimacy.

Thanks for any help!

    Good question.

    I just went to the site to check it out. It has "articles" or "modules," on a variety of topics, but it only lets you see part of the content unless you register as a member. Do they charge a fee? It didn't say.

    The part of the article/module I was allowed to see did not include an author's name. That is suspicious. But the article did appear to use reference (good sign). Those in-text citations appeared to be live links, but were not really live. I couldn't get to the end of the module without joining (paying?), so I couldn't see what type of literature was being cited.

    So in the end, I couldn't really evaluate the site and they did not provide any significant information about the service to people who are "just visiting." So, while I saw a few things that looked positive and promising, there are a few things that are suspicious -- in particular, the fact that the website did not provide information about itself to visitors and did not provide the author's name, affiliation and credentials.

    I'd be interested in knowing whether or not anyone knows much about this site, too.

    llg, thank you for your response. I did have to pay to access the articles. Some seem to be portions of textbooks and others articles. Most have the author's name but some do not so I do not use those publications. It seems to be a good source for papers but I definitely will not use it for my Thesis.
    Thanks!
    Fairbee.
