Sorry, I don't know what you mean.

Oh, I see. Yeah I suppose it is, now that you point it out. It comes from:

  • .gov: the US government
  • .nih: the US National Institutes of Health
  • .nlm: the National Library of Medicine
  • .ncbi: the National Center for Biotechnology Information

But really, I only know it because it's a very common host that comes up when you're searching for published research papers. I just see "bunch of Ns .gov" and know it's reliable.
