Claim analysis and source review

How new dockets will be organized
Source type
Articles and essays, broadcast interviews, videos, public statements, and legal or historical records.
Claim domain
Topic tags identify the main review area, such as irreducible complexity, vaccines, origins, or public-health misinformation.
Review state
Each card will show whether it is a public summary, needs editor review, or has been formally signed off.
Stable record
Every docket has a stable URL and a machine-readable JSON summary so indexes and future search tools can link to the same record.
Method
From source claim to reviewable record
1. Capture and translate
Preserve source metadata privately, translate only where needed for review, and keep full third-party text out of the public artifact.
2. Extract claims
Separate scientific claims, opposition claims, legal or historical claims, and open questions before drafting commentary.
3. Align with TOA
Map claims to relevant TalkOrigins IndexCC entries, FAQs, articles, and digitized Library sources for editorial review.
4. Verify citations
Use CiteGeist to verify DOI-bearing references, add bibliographic metadata, and locate open-access source links through Unpaywall.
Source base
Primary comparison material
TalkOrigins Archive
IndexCC claims, FAQs, Dover materials, and article responses are used as the main public response anchors.
Digitized Library
Books, papers, scanned source files, and extracted concept records remain in the private review layer unless an editor approves a public citation or summary.
Citation services
Crossref and Unpaywall metadata are recorded as aids to source review, not as substitutes for reading the source.
