Primes

• Primary vs. Secondary Sources
  • The classification makes the separation explicit, so that an argument's dependencies on primary materials and on secondary interpretations are both traceable and auditable, a research-practice norm Booth, Colomb, and Williams (2016) codify by requiring writers to distinguish primary, secondary, and tertiary sources and to ground claims in the layer their evidence actually occupies.

Domain-specific

• Original Reporting
  • These are not metaphors — the same evidentiary mechanism really travels, and a provenance-tracing protocol built in one transfers to another.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
