Provenance and Citation

What the map said, when it said it.

Provenance and citation rules help a reader identify the exact PSRM text being relied on.

Why

Why provenance matters

A reference that others rely on must prove what it said and when it said it. PSRM makes that proof a public record, not a private assurance.

Chain

Endorsement

Endorsement rule

Citing PSRM never implies PSRM endorses the reader, tool, organisation or conclusion.
