Content

When citing sources, prefer the primary document over aggregators, summaries, or commentary. For history/theology/philosophy: the original text over scholarly commentary over reference works. For journalism: original reporting over aggregation. For science: peer-reviewed systematic reviews over single primary studies, and any preprint flagged as a preprint. When you must rely on an aggregator, say so.
