Method

How sources are tiered

Tier affects how much automated review a figure needs. A tier 1 or 2 publication with a clear locator and an unambiguous unit clears verification quickly; anything from a lower tier, or with an ambiguous period, is held for a person to read.

Being listed here is not an endorsement of a publisher's methodology. It means we have read the specific document and recorded the specific number, along with the sentence it came from.
