RESEARCH / PRIMARY REFERENCES
Go to the source.
A focused reference index for the research and official documentation behind the evidence guides.
These are the primary research and documentation references used in the fieldnotes. Each source supports a specific idea identified in its article. The surrounding implementation guidance is a proposed approach, not a promise or endorsement from the cited organization.
Some references describe historical research. They should not be used to infer the current accuracy of a product or model. Check live documentation and evaluate your own workflow before implementing an integration.
Google Fact Check Tools API ↗
Official documentation for searching published fact checks and working with ClaimReview markup. Used to distinguish review retrieval from a new claim assessment.
FEVER: Fact Extraction and VERification ↗
The original research paper on claim verification against textual sources, with support, refutation, and insufficient-information labels. Used as a reference for separating claims from evidence.
W3C PROV overview ↗
A conceptual reference for provenance: the entities, activities, and people involved in producing information. Used to frame a proposed evidence-record design.
FActScore ↗
Research on fine-grained factual precision in long-form generation. Used for the concept of examining individual assertions rather than assuming an entire answer shares one factual status.
Crossref REST API ↗
Official documentation for scholarly metadata retrieval. Used for bibliographic identity and accuracy, distinct from a claim’s semantic support.
ALCE: Generating text with citations ↗
Research that evaluates fluency, correctness, and citation quality as separate dimensions. Used to frame an evidence-grounded answer workflow.
Snopes fact-check ratings ↗
The publisher’s explanation of its rating system and the importance of a specific claim statement. Used to preserve context when reading a published review.
Crossref Crossmark ↗
Official documentation on displaying scholarly content status and updates. Used for version and update checks, not as a guarantee of scientific quality.
Retraction Watch data in the Crossref API ↗
Crossref’s announcement describing Retraction Watch retractions and corrections in its REST API. Used as one discovery input for a proposed source-monitoring process.
NIST Generative AI Profile ↗
A cross-sectoral companion to the AI Risk Management Framework. Used as a reference for organizing questions about trustworthiness across an AI application.
