Research: from question to evidence
Lesson 2
Start with primary records. Give the source title, exact URL, date and page, section or timestamp. Separate a fact from an allegation, opinion, legal proposition, inference or open question. A source proves what it actually records, not every conclusion drawn from it.
Lesson 3
Look for corroboration and material contrary evidence. State uncertainty and gaps. Submit public contributions for review; internal researchers save sources and evidence in the project forms and submit their assignment. Coordinator acceptance does not authorize public release or legal handoff.
