Source-Cited Report Format Note
A standards note on when a source-cited report is appropriate and what sourcing should appear with it.
Source-cited reports are used for developments that can be stated directly, sourced clearly, and updated quickly without copying third-party article bodies.
A source-cited report should:
- identify and link the primary source,
- explain why the development matters,
- distinguish reporting from commentary or aggregation.
A source-cited report is a format for attribution-forward coverage, not a substitute for original field reporting.
This source-cited VINI report links to the original publisher record. VINI does not republish third-party article bodies without rights clearance. 1 source listed.
