Expanded list
of reasons for including source-citations in CZ articles: To provide the
reader with the sources for the information offered in an article, so the
reader can evaluate for herself the quality of the source. To provide the
reader with a path to expand her knowledge about any statement made in an
article. To eliminate
the charge that CZ bases the veracity of its articles on authority, not on
reader-evaluable evidence. To eliminate
the arbitrariness inherent in the inevitable disagreements among experts in a
subject. To indicate to
readers the up-to-date-ness of an article in respect of its evidential bases. To indicate the
disagreements among workers in an area and allow readers to consult the
disagreeing sources to make their own judgments. To enhance the
quality of CZ articles by demonstrating that the authors/editors have studied
the evidence. To indicate the
poverty or richness of the evidential basis for an article. To indicate to
readers the biases of the author/editors due to the selection of sources cited
and exclusion of sources not cited. Please add to
this list. Anthony.Sebastian _________________________ |
