Citations

All 1354 findings in the dataset appear below with the source that backs them and the file they were read from. Findings with no external citation are listed too, marked as such. A register that leaves out its weakest entries is not a record, it is an advertisement.

Two questions, two columns

External citation is the published source that backs the claim. That is what carries weight. 1006 of 1354 findings have one, and 437 of those rest on a government, agency or academic source.

Found in is the file in our own collection the record came from. Every finding has one, so every claim can be traced back to a specific row in a specific pack. It does not prove a claim is true. It proves where we got it, and it means nothing here is unattributable.

348 findings have no external citation. They are named in the tables below with their provenance, so you can see exactly what is thinly supported and go check it.

What each label means

The tier describes the source, not the finding. A commercial guide can be perfectly accurate and a government page can be out of date. The tier says how much weight the citation carries on its own.
