Was the blog really able to help you write your paper? Did the blog give you any insight?
I have a Singaporean friend who cited some comments on RG threads for an international conference in Milan. The paper was accepted. But when I cited some RG threads, my paper was rejected straightaway by the editor of a journal. He made comments that I should review good journal articles. I did that and published the paper in another journal. Sometimes I wonder if I should have sent it back to the first journal, but my friend encouraged me to send it to a different journal. What do you think?
Dear Dee
I have not. But I fail to understand if there is any harm if one cites from RG. Rg is a much reliable source.

Stay away from blogs if you can. They are based on opinion, often lacking in resources, and following an unknown agenda. You can find another blog with opposing view. Also, plagiarism is a constant danger ... check it out.
I preferably do not adopt this way.. But if we are quoting we should mention the details of source.
well a blog is a personal opinion whic may not be based on any empirigal evidence as such we should not cite the same,hoe ever in case of exploratory research or qualitative research we can cite such material or opinion
Thanks to everyone who answered me. It seems that this is really up to the person who is grading the paper. I wonder what else can not be cited to support an idea?
