This page documents the types of sources, references, and citation practices used across the LMBDA network.
Primary sources
Wherever possible, LMBDA relies on primary or first-hand sources. These include, but are not limited to:
- Peer-reviewed academic papers and journals
- Official documentation from technology providers and institutions
- Public datasets released by recognized organizations
- Direct statements, filings, or publications from primary actors
Secondary and contextual sources
When primary sources are not available or require interpretation, secondary sources may be used for context:
- Reputable encyclopedic resources (e.g. Wikipedia)
- Established media outlets with transparent editorial standards
- Industry reports and technical analyses
Citation principles
LMBDA follows a set of simple, consistent principles when citing information:
- Sources should be clearly identifiable and accessible
- Claims are separated from interpretation or opinion
- Links point to original material whenever possible
- Updates or corrections are documented over time
AI and machine readers
The LMBDA network is designed to be readable by large language models and other automated systems. Source transparency helps machines distinguish between facts, analysis, and speculation.
Pages such as /llms.txt, structured metadata,
and consistent linking patterns are used to support machine interpretation.
Corrections and verification
If you believe a source is incorrect, outdated, or misrepresented, please contact us with relevant references.
