What’s New Website by Bob Park
Bob Park has been publishing the What’s New (WN), a weekly newsletter for more than 14 years from January of 1987. In this period, there occurred “Discovery of the Cold Fusion Phenomenon (CFP).”

His critiques on CFP have been made from his biased point of view based on the presumption of “d-d fusion in solids,” and on denial of “the qualitative reproducibility”, both are common prejudices for many physicists and chemists pro and con reality of CFP for a long time, even at present.
Therefore, scientific meaning is thin in these articles in WN related with CFP but his precise citations of many materials related with the CFP research and surrounding affairs reflect honestly various facets of the history of the CFP research, especially in the first few years after its “discovery” in 1989.
