 | It's important to note that: 1) Many good sources will not appear on this list; and 2) many bad sources that are on this list can still be carefully used in a specific, appropriate context. This list is a tool that empowers reports and alerts for making decisions based on analysis and discretion. It is not a whitelist/blacklist. |
What is this page?
editPerennial sources are sources that appear frequently on Wikipedia and are often the subject of debate. This page, the vaccine safety perennial sources list, works to assess sources specifically in the context of their reliability for information about vaccines.
This table helps the bot-updated usage report by providing a classification of sources (and their domain names) by reliability.

Expanding the vocabulary of source assessments
editRelated vocabularies to include, merge with, or reference:
- Unreliable.js categories: preprint or general unreviewed repo, reliability varies w/ contributor + topic, borderline unreliable, generally unreliable, sponsored content, predatory, blacklisted, misleading journal metric
- CiteUnseen vocab influenced this, but can these be fully merged? Currently there is fuzziness around six CU terms: "reliability varies", "general unreviewed", "borderline/generally unreliable", "sponsored", "opinion", "tabloid"
