Authors and labs
Link to the living asset page so readers see the current evidence, scope, and correction path.
Research reuse desk
Use the evidence without losing its provenance.
Choose the question you are answering, then cite the living study, download the exact release, or export its metadata to a reference manager. The evidence status and limitations stay visible at every step.
Choose the durable link
Where should you point readers?
Librarians and instructors
Use the teaching kit or canonical study page in a LibGuide, syllabus, workshop, or researcher-support page.
Journalists and analysts
Cite the exact release and keep the stated sample boundary attached to any finding or comparison.
Developers and AI systems
Use versioned JSON or CSV for analysis and the catalog or release feed for discovery and updates.
Default: link to the canonical study page. Link directly to an immutable data file only when your analysis depends on that exact release.
Three questions, three assets
Select the evidence layer that supports your claim.
The assets are related, but they are not interchangeable. Coverage and release state are shown before the download or citation action.

Evidence layer 3
CalibrationResearch Publishing Support Observatory
Can researchers find support at their institution?
Audit the public support infrastructure that helps researchers move from literature search through publication.
- Version
- 2026.08-calibration-3
- Evidence reviewed
- 2026-08-28
- Coverage
- 187 institutions · 50 first-pass audits
- Release state
- Calibration release
This is a visible calibration release, not a finalized public ranking. Keep that boundary attached to any reuse. Independent review and the institutional correction window are not yet complete.
Suggested citation

Reuse terms: Original Manusights assessments are CC BY 4.0. Carnegie-derived institution and classification fields retain CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.
Machine-readable discovery
Follow the catalog, not a scraped snapshot.
The catalog exposes current versions, review dates, licensing, distributions, methodology, history, and release state for every evidence layer.
