critical scholars say the disciples did think they saw the resurrected Jesus (based on a survey of 1400 journal articles since 1975)

If the claim is “1400 journal articles since 1975 claim the disciples though they saw Jesus resurrect”, sure, I can believe 1400 articles do say that.

I fail to see how 1400 articles from 1975 and on prove that disciples from 2000+ years ago actually did see Jesus resurrect. Pardon any math errors, but I believe any potential eye witnesses were long dead by 1975.
