I think equating commercial with unreliable creates a problem. There's a
long tradition of profit-making ventures that create neutral, reliable
information uninfluenced by advertising. In the early part of the
century the Wilson Indexes were found in every public library; Libraries
might have purchased indexes that took kickbacks from journals who's
publishers wanted to be included in the index.
