By the way, I've changed your links to MetaPress back to the actual journal. While MetaPress might be useful for referencing specific articles, there would normally be an external link to the official site of a publication/company/organisation. In fact, it is hard for me to judge how useful MetaPress is, as it needs an account to be accessed: not v helpful for those of us not currently in academia!

If you're not happy with this, feel free to say so, or to add an additional link to MetaPress, explaining it requires payment/membership to access. I should point out, by the way, that although you put a very specific link, that just dumped me at the MetaPress search page: again, presumbably because I don't have access.
