Domain-specific¶
- Key Informant
- (Whyte's Street Corner Society, for instance, was structured around a single key informant, Doc, whose positional access to the Italian-American corner-boy network would not have been replaceable by interviews with a random sample of the neighbourhood).
This sourceWhyte's description of Doc as 'simply a key informant' and his sponsor at the start of the Cornerville fieldwork. Whyte’s Street Corner Society, read from the University of Chicago Press reprints, whose appendix recounts building the study around a single key informant, Doc. Whyte's own account that a random sample could not have supplied Doc's positional access, and that Doc's central position shaped and skewed what he was shown.

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 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
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.
