In scientific studies, understanding academic terms are extremely important. Usually, there are hundreds and thousands of terms in one particular subject. For the newbies and self-studiers, it's always hard to tell which term is basic, and which one is just derivative. I am thinking whether those dictionary websites, such as wikipedia, can sort the terms by the frequency being cited in other relative terms. Therefore we may make our studies and reviews more efficiently by reading through the "term list".

Studying the introduction of all the fields of biology and bio related subjects can give us a feeling of what bio is and where it is going to. hehe i'll do it when i have time.

To classify the first 1000 websites which are ranked by "alexa.com", and to know what kinds of information are welcomed by the public.
