Source Policy
How and why Librisca uses sources.
Why sources are used
Not every sentence on Librisca needs a citation — plain, generally known explanations don’t. But a specific factual claim, a number, or a statement that could reasonably be disputed gets a real, checkable source.
What counts as a good source
Librisca prefers first-party, official, primary, standards-body, or academic sources where they’re available and appropriate to the claim being made. Topics that touch on safety require stronger sourcing before they can be published at all.
What a source does not mean
Citing a source does not make an article automatically correct, and Librisca does not describe its sources as universally authoritative. A source list reflects the references actually used to support a specific article’s claims — nothing more.
What Librisca does not do
Librisca does not fabricate citations, and does not attribute a claim to a source that doesn’t actually support it. If a claim can’t be sourced appropriately, it doesn’t get published as stated fact.
See Editorial Policy for how sourcing fits into the broader publishing standard.
