===These are excellent sources, which should provide a lot of credible information to the WP article. Your best bet is to read abstracts and then look further into the articles if you need to. Also, you'll need to think about how best to integrate this information by introducing it and explaining its significance (think sandwich). That will require adding more specific text.
