Research source expiry monitoring
A repeatable way to flag dated evidence before a research article becomes misleading or difficult to defend.
Key stats
- Every source record needs a checked date and a next-review rule.
- A broken link is a discoverability issue; an outdated claim is an evidence issue.
- Review priority should reflect claim impact, not only article age.
Key takeaways
- Tag sources as evergreen, monitored, or time-sensitive.
- Recheck primary sources before secondary summaries.
- Record whether a changed source affects wording, numbers, or conclusions.
Monitoring queue
| Signal | First action | Disposition |
|---|---|---|
| URL fails | Locate canonical page | Replace or remove |
| Date passes | Reopen claim | Confirm or revise |
| Method changes | Reassess claim | Add context |
| Publisher changes | Verify authority | Retain or retire |
Use the maintenance routines and link integrity routine as the operating pair.
