Feminist SF Wiki:Citing sources
Ideally, factual statements that are not immediately, obviously verifiable should be referenced.
Personal research must be referenced, attributed, reviewable, and critiquable
Provisionally, personal research is okay, but it needs to be described and credited as such, by a recognizable and findable identity--either a real name or a well-established pseudonym with history, reputation, and a chain of connections to a real person who has met the person under the pseudonym. Research not yet published must be able to be supported, and intended for publication of some sort. Web publication is fine. If appropriate, research may be published at http://feministsf.net/ . Basically, to be citeable, unpublished research must be
- attributed to an ascertainable individual (by that individual);
- reviewable on demand; and
- critiquable by any review.
