   That's what Wikipedia thinks.   
      
   Wikipedia does not have the resources to validate alleged "original   
   research" itself, so it requires OR to be validated by some socially   
   accepted process such as peer review or at a minimum publication by a   
   publisher with a reputation to lose.   
      
   Otherwise, any old crap becomes "original research", rather than only   
   respectable research.
