Hardin MD subject pages indicate the length of lists in each subject, making it easy to see at a glance which lists are most comprehensive - These are often not the lists from the"one-stop-shopping" sites, but those developed by people within the field, which are well-known and frequently cited within the field, but not well-known outside it."
