studies/

One page per primary source from which we’ve extracted claims. Pages are referenced by wikilinks from the footnotes on entity pages.

See extracting-evidence for the full SOP — what to extract, what frontmatter to use, and how to structure the page.

Naming convention

{first-author-lastname}-{year}-{topic-slug}.md

Examples:

  • yousefzadeh-2018-fisetin-senolytic.md
  • lopez-otin-2023-hallmarks-expanding-universe.md
  • calerie-2017-caloric-restriction-2yr.md (consortium / acronym OK for multi-author papers)

When to create a study page vs use a bare DOI footnote

  • Create a study page when this paper is the sole or primary source for a wiki claim, OR when extracting multiple claims from it.
  • Bare DOI footnote when citing one of many corroborating sources for an established fact.

See adding-a-claim for the citation conventions.
