Evidence & Citation Studio

Build a transparent path from research question to source, from source to evidence, and from evidence to a carefully qualified conclusion. The studio does not decide truth automatically; it preserves the record that allows a researcher or reader to see how an assessment was reached.

Research health

Flags claims without evidence, sources without publication dates, missing access dates, incomplete provenance, and unsupported assessments.

Research Projects

Each project contains its own question, scope, claims, sources, evidence relationships, quotations, and exports.

Select or create a research project.

Claim Board

Break a large question into reviewable claims. Status describes the current evidence record, not an automatic truth verdict.

Select a project to create claims.

Source Library

Record bibliographic metadata, source type, primary or secondary status, dates, location, provenance, reliability concerns, and optional file hashes.

Select a project to build a source library.

Evidence Matrix

Connect a source to a claim as supporting, opposing, contextual, or insufficient evidence. Preserve the researcher’s reasoning and confidence separately.

Select a project with at least one claim and one source.

Quotation Notebook

Store short, researcher-selected excerpts with exact page, paragraph, timestamp, or section locations. Respect copyright and quotation limits.

Select a project to record quotations.

Research Timeline

Track source publication, access, file import, claim creation, evidence linking, assessment changes, and project milestones.

Select a project to view its timeline.

Citation Workshop

Generate draft bibliography entries from recorded metadata. Review them against the current official style manual before publication.

Select a project to prepare citations.

Portable Research Exports

Move the research record into PROSE, ARSHIF, The Verifier, or KhaeZip without losing the relationship between claims and sources.

Select a project to export its research record.

Workspace Protection & Backup

Optional encryption protects research stored in this browser. Important projects should also be exported and archived independently.

Unprotected local workspace

Projects are stored locally as readable JSON in this browser profile.

Complete Workspace Backup

Export or import every project, source, claim, quotation, evidence link, citation setting, and provenance record.

Persistent Browser Storage

Ask the browser to reduce the chance that local data is evicted. This is not guaranteed.

Storage estimate not yet checked.

Workspace Reset

Erase every local research project after exporting a backup.

Citation notice: generated citations are drafting aids. Source types, institutional authors, archival records, statutes, court opinions, datasets, audiovisual works, translated works, and unusual publication histories may require manual formatting.

Claim Record

Source Record

The selected file is not stored inside the project. Only its filename, size, media type, and SHA-256 hash are recorded.

Evidence Relationship

Quotation Record

Record only the amount reasonably needed for research, criticism, commentary, teaching, or verification. Copyright rules vary by work and use.
