Where every
statement comes from.

We mark every source with a tier. That way you can see what a statement rests on: peer-reviewed research, the work of an institute, a preprint or our own perspective.

    Peer-reviewed

    Journals and conferences with peer review, such as Nature, Science or NeurIPS.

    Research institutes, labs and statistical offices, such as MIT, the ILO or Destatis.

    Studies that have not been peer-reviewed yet, for example on arXiv. We only use them with this label.
