Our research sources
Find the primary documents used across our guides. Each article also links the sources relevant to that topic.
“Last accessed” records a real editorial check. “Document revision” records a publisher date only when the document makes one identifiable; otherwise readers must verify the live page or exact file. Our source-health monitor reports redirects, hard 404/410 responses, access blocks, and network failures separately. A bot-block response does not prove that a reader-facing URL is broken; a hard removal triggers editorial review of every mapped guide.
