=== Original website ===
Brian Morris formerly ran a circumcision website hosted by the {{UNI|University of Sydney|USYD}}. The {{UNI|University of Sydney|USYD}} asked Brian Morris not to associate his views on circumcision with his position at the university. While no longer on {{UNI|University of Sydney|USYD}} equipment, www.circinfo.net is again operational.<ref>{{REFweb

=== Recommended ===
Morris's papers are noted for the frequent citation of previous works by Morris and others of his clique. His co-authors are usually members of his clique. He openly publishes a list of his authors which are also members of the alleged medical organisation [[Circumcision Academy of Australia]], with most of them highly biased in favor of circumcision for several reasons.
It has been observed in 2024 that Morris now publishes only in open access free journals. It appears that the more respected journal no longer accept his papers. === [[Bias ]] revealed ===
Professor [[Gregory J. Boyle]] has reviewed an article by Morris & [[John N. Krieger| Krieger]] and explained the devices and tricks Morris uses to make the evidence support his [[bias]]ed pre-ordained conclusion.<ref>{{REFjournal

Morris gets his friends and associates to review his articles to give them the illusion of having been impartially reviewed.<ref>{{REFweb
