Seriously, most answers can be found with a few mintues on search engines and looking at several sources.
They are certain ones I look for over any other..... anything on reptiles by Douglas Mader, Elliott Jacobson, Roger Klingenberg to name a few. These men have dedicated their lives to reptile health and welfare and are on the leading edge on new information WITHOUT a personal agenda for reports.
Then there are specialty fields too that I always turn to: Just put their names in search engine and the field
Susan Donoghue for Reptile Nutrition
Juergen Schumacher for Reptile Virus (along with Jacobson)
Jean Pare for Fungus
Donald Janssen for Radiology
Richard Wells for Taxonomy
Avery Bennett for Neurology
Michael Murray, Reptile heart or Lungs
Maders "Reptile Medicine and Surgery" is my reptile bible
All of these people are really good about answering email or phone questions...... If I have an unanswered question.... the first place I call is the the University of Florida, College of Vet Med, one of the best group of knowledgable vets/researchers and specialist in the country for reptiles. And always willing to listen and direct or jump on a suggestion. Above all, they care... it's not just a job to them, they love their work and the animals and they do not have attitudes because they know so much, they are ALWAYS willing to listen to a new idea and pick apart or verify an idea with merit. ----- www.reptilerooms.com
