Source index

Every source used on this site, what it supports, and whether its bibliographic record has been checked.

The policy. Where a claim is an experimental or theoretical result, it is attributed to the paper that first reported it, not to a review that repeats it. Reviews appear only where the claim is itself about the state of the field, and are tagged as such.

The honest part. verified means the DOI was resolved against the Crossref REST API and title, journal, year, volume and pages all matched what we assert. unverified means the details come from the primary literature but have not yet been machine-confirmed — check volume and pages before quoting. corrected means a commonly circulated version of the citation is wrong and we have fixed it.

Current state: 87 sources, 82 of them primary research papers, 29 machine-verified, 1 corrected, 57 awaiting verification.
