Wikipedia:Vaccine safety/Perennial sources

What is this page? edit

Perennial sources are sources that appear frequently on Wikipedia and are often the subject of debate. This page, the vaccine safety perennial sources list, works to assess sources specifically in the context of their reliability for information about vaccines.

This table helps the bot-updated usage report by providing a classification of sources (and their domain names) by reliability.

How do I add to it? edit

Discuss sources on the project talk page. In particular, see the list of Unrated Sources and see which ones can be triaged into this list.

Expanding the vocabulary of source assessments edit

Related vocabularies to include, merge with, or reference:

  • Unreliable.js categories: preprint or general unreviewed repo, reliability varies w/ contributor + topic, borderline unreliable, generally unreliable, sponsored content, predatory, blacklisted, misleading journal metric
  • CiteUnseen vocab influenced this, but can these be fully merged? Currently there is fuzziness around six CU terms: "reliability varies", "general unreviewed", "borderline/generally unreliable", "sponsored", "opinion", "tabloid"
