Source verification workflow for daily research publishing
A daily research routine needs a repeatable claim check. This workflow turns a source list into a reviewable publishing record.
Key stats
Key takeaways
- Record the source, definition, date, and unit for every statistic.
- Separate source facts from recommendations and planning assumptions.
- Keep a visible source list whose count matches the article citations.
Define the claim before searching
Write the exact statistic or comparison the article needs. Include the population, period, unit, and source type. "Remote work is growing" is too vague. "Share of employed people who did some work at home on days worked in 2025" can be checked against a named BLS release.
Keep an evidence ledger
For each claim, record the source URL, publisher, publication date, table or section, exact definition, and the sentence used in the draft. If the source does not support the sentence, narrow the sentence or remove the claim. Do not repair a gap with a plausible estimate.
Publish the audit trail
The reader should see a Sources section with the same source count used in the article. Add the article date, canonical route, related research links, and the source-backed reason for each headline number. A visible audit trail makes the work easier to review and update.
