Supreme Court Citations (US v. Nixon, example)
General rule: Name of the first plaintiff and the first defendant, the number of the case, the name of the court that decided the case, and the date it was decided. Names of cases and court names are frequently abbreviated.
Standard legal format: United States v. Nixon, 418 US 683 (1974)
The name of the Petitioner and Respondent, or case name, is italicized.
(Translation: Short case name, Volume number, abbreviation for U. S. Supreme Court Reports, decision starts on page indicated, year of decision.)
If referring to a specific page within the Opinion, place a comma after the starting page number, then insert the referenced page number:
United States v. Nixon, 418 US 683, 685 (1974)
MLA Suggestion
If you're citing the case for a research paper, the MLA suggests using Legal Bluebook format in place of the older MLA format that listed docket number and exact date of decision.
Legal Bluebook format: United States v. Nixon, 418 US 683, 685 (1974)
The name of the Petitioner and Respondent, or case name, is italicized.
(Translation: Short case name, Volume number, abbreviation for U. S. Supreme Court Reports, decision starts on page indicated, specific page being referenced, year of decision in parentheses, period.)
Subsequent citations: Nixon, 418 U.S. at 685.
(Translation: Case name is typically shortened to indicate the petition; however, there are a few situations - such as when the petitioner is a state or the United States, that could result in confusion - where the Respondent's name is substituted. When in doubt, look it up or ask for assistance.)

Why is double blind study reliable?
To avoid the placebo effect! If doctor knows that the substance he is giving is inert, his behavior will change. Patient is likely to note the same. If the doctor knows that he is giving the drug, his behavior will be confident. Patient will again note the same. So to avoid this placebo effect, the doctor has to be blind as well. Same is true for the patient also. So both the patient and the doctor need to be blind to have the proper study of the drug. Such study is called as double blind study and it is necessary for proper results.

Also, if a research is reliable it can be used as scientific evidence.

How focused should a research topic be and why?
Research should be well focused, otherwise it becomes so broad that you can not do anything more than take a general survey, and arrive usually at very obvious conclusions. Specific research leads to more interesting results. For example, research about war in general will be too broad, but research about a specific war is more interesting, and research about a specific campaign or a specific aspect of a specific war would be even more likely to produce an interesting result.
Which year is concidered the publishing date for an APA citation when multiple years are listed?
According to the related link: YEAR OF PUBLICATION
For edited books, include only the year of copyright, in parenthesis, then end with a period. If the book was republished, include the original date of publication and the new date, separated by a slash (/), in the text citation, but list only the publication date of the source used in the reference list. If no date of publication is listed, put "n.d." in the parenthesis. Standard form (1995). Republished book (in-text citation) (1935/1980). No date given(n.d.).
The simple answer would be .com because it indicates a private business. However, there can be no general determination of reliability based on the URL domain suffix. Sites run by a government (.gov), organizations (.org), and educational institutions (.edu) may either have more credibility or less, based on user experience and the diligence of their website staffs.
The secondary suffix (geographical location) may also prompt a closer consideration of information from some sites, because some areas of the world have fewer laws governing the use of the internet.
Social networking is the least acceptable source of accurate and unbiased scientific information. When on social networking, opinions outweigh scientific fact.
Internet sites that can be edited by any user are generally not acceptable as a source of accurate and unbiased scientific information. These sites tend to reflect the views of the writers, without any peer review or research.
