Sources

Of the sources suggested by BarryG1, http://academic.research.microsoft.com/Search?query=barry%20gusterson is a search query, which is not acceptable as a Wikipedia reference, and http://www.wolfson.org.uk/funding/case-studies/science-medicine/university-of-glasgow/ does not actually mention Barry Gusterson. Additional sources are needed for some statements. Several of the sources currently cited are not independent of the subject. Moreover, as it appears from the user name that BarryG1 may actually be the subject, this should be considered an autobiography and subject to extra scrutiny. Additional sources are therefor doubly desired here. DES ^(talk) 13:53, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of Biographical Primary sources flag

The Biographical Primary sources flag has been removed from this article as the majority of the primary sources referenced within the article are to peer-reviewed papers from reputable sources with complete citation indices themselves. See WP:RS for more information on the reliability of peer-reviewed scientific papers.

Alongside this, no inference is being made on said sources, as they are being used solely to highlight the research history of the article subject. Any biographical information is pulled from majority secondary or tertiary sources (news articles, awards lists, organisational histories and overviews).

This breakdown of source type and use is typical of Biographies within Science and Academia, especially within the Biological sciences subsection. (Examples of this can be found in Paul Nurse, Francis Crick and Karen Vousden)
