Inspect the Source Set

Source verification is more than checking that a URL resolves. Research librarians assess provenance, method, fit, representation, access, and the relationship between a source and the claim assigned to it.

Export a source inventory

TRY THIS PROMPT

Ask for an auditable table based on the completed report.

Create a source inventory for every source cited in the report. Include: author or organization, title, year, source type, URL or DOI, outcome family supported, geography, access status, and the exact report claim it supports. Use "unknown" rather than guessing.

Every cited source has an identifier and a claim assignment.
