Finding all published scientific studies online

I was wondering if there was a website that has lists of all of the published scientific studies done on all types of various things.

I wanted to be able to search for instance to find any reliable scientific studies on things like telekinesis,Bigfoot,Psychics and all types of other things concerning all types of science.People often claim "psychics have been studied and proven to be accurate" and things like that.I know there have obviously been tons of scientific studies debunking psychics,But I just can't find them anywhere.

I find myself googling for the studies and getting nothing but fundy christian sites or psuedo-scientific sites.


So is there any website that has all published scientific studies on various subjects?



Thanks

Not everything is online. Yet.

In the meantime, you need a good library.

You could try http://scholar.google.com/, which lists only "scholarly literature" (papers, books, theses, etc.)

I use PubMed but it is not a complete listing. It did find articles on telekinesis though.

Well that sucks...I was hoping there would be a quick and easy updated way to find real scientific works and studies done by universities or real scientists excluding psuedo science.

I run into people often claiming there have been sucessful studies done on psychics,and when I ask them to post the studies they post some psuedo scientific site that simply says there have been sucessful studies done without any more details.

It's sort of frustrating.

No frustrating was the days when all lititure searches had to be done using hard copies.

A library is no better than Google.

It has tons of psuedo science stuff,it's nearly impossible to find legit studies done by real scientists.

There is no area reserved for only scientific works which excludes psuedo science....Psuedo science is all over.

And this is why the internet has a reputation for harboring all the whackos.
