CurioBeacon articles use at least two reliable sources, including a primary, official, or institutional source whenever one exists. Sensitive subjects use at least three high-authority sources and receive additional review.
Source preferences
We prefer government agencies, universities, standards bodies, technical documentation, peer-reviewed research, and manufacturers describing their own products. A source must support the specific statement connected to it; a page that merely repeats an unsupported claim is not enough.
Verification
Editors check that source links work, identify uncertainty and meaningful variation, and keep an internal record of the sources and review date. Each article includes a visible Sources section so readers can examine the evidence themselves.
Review labels
We do not invent professional reviewers or imply credentials a contributor does not hold. When qualified review is required, publication waits until a real reviewer can be identified and the review documented.
