## Rules of thumb

1. If you cannot open the URL, mark the claim **broken-link** — do not cite it.
2. “Partial” means the source is related but does not actually support the claim as written. Rewrite or drop the claim.
3. Prefer primary sources over secondary summaries when stakes are high (thesis, grant, clinical).
