Yes.

I post it regularly in the RESEARCH ARTICLES FORUM. The links are directly to the right of this board, and are always visible. The Research Articles forum has been in existence since the beginning of this site.

I would encourage everyone to at the very least, glance at the links to the right, every now and then - if not actually browse and/or search the forum.

BTW, here are a few that have been posted within the past few weeks...

Combined BCP's not recommended for cysters with high triglyceride levels

Controversy surrounding PCOS and BCP's

Risk-benefit assessment of BCP's in PCOS

Diane 35 and Weight Gain in PCOS

A) The Research Articles Forum

B) The Medifocus Guide posted at the top of the Research Articles Forum. The Medifocus Guide contains peer-reviewed studies organized by category, and is updated quartely

c) PubMed and/or Google Scholar

There have. They've been posted here and at Pubmed. You just have to run a search.

Run a search, and pull the full study - all of the study authors are referenced in the article. Full studies are available at PubMed.

Yeah. Me, too... Taking a moment to run a search can answer a myriad of questions.
