Reliable source directory
Choose a reference by subject, language and scope. Each entry explains its purpose and what to check before reusing information.
Before citing a source
- Open the original document: a title or search snippet is insufficient.
- Match author, date, scope and exact passage to the claim.
- Keep publication date separate from the date you consulted the document.
- Preserve units, exceptions and limitations; a reliable portal does not validate every inference.
