Evidence

How to Build an Evidence Map

Connect claims to verifiable literature, statistics and primary materials.

Record claims, not just sources

A bibliography lists what was used. An evidence map also records which claim each source supports and how strongly it supports it.

Verify metadata

Check title, authors, year, venue and DOI or stable URL. A relevant title alone is not proof that the source supports a claim.

Handle gaps honestly

When evidence remains unavailable, narrow or remove the claim instead of inventing a citation or forcing the user to upload a public source.

Check your draft length

Use the free academic word counter to count the full paper or exclude references.

Organize your bibliography

Use the reference converter and deduplicator for GB/T, APA and IEEE formatting.
