At least quarterly
Source and link audit
Checks every internal collection destination and each named external public resource, then reopens the source when a claim depends on wording that may have changed.
Public stewardship record
Maintenance and corrections
This page states how the Research Publishing Toolkit is reviewed, how broken links and factual corrections are handled, what materially changed, and which release record controls when versions differ.
Current publication record
Use the live page for the current edition.
Each maintained resource now shows its edition, evidence-review date, license, stable citation, and portable file beside the action that uses it. That live record controls when it is newer than a deposited collection snapshot.
Live resource edition
Use for current claims, citations, downloads, source boundaries, and corrections.
August 5 archive
A permanent historical snapshot. It does not contain the later September reconstructions.

What we check and when
Last full collection review:
Before each collection release
Collection review
Reviews navigation, audience fit, dates, sources, limitations, downloads, reuse terms, accessibility, and the public edition record.
At each resource review
Volatile fact review
Rechecks time-sensitive journal, funder, repository, and policy claims against the cited primary source.

Reported correction triage
Confirms the report, corrects material errors promptly, and records collection-level changes here.
How corrections work
- 1. Report. Send the page URL, disputed statement, and a stronger primary source when available.
- 2. Verify. We compare the report with the cited source and related pages in the collection.
- 3. Correct. Material errors are fixed promptly. Minor style changes may wait for the next scheduled review.
- 4. Record. Collection-level changes appear below. Resource-specific changes remain on that resource when a version history is provided.
Scope and responsibility
Manusights maintains its original educational material and link directory. We cannot control changes on publisher, funder, repository, or other external websites. A successful link check does not prove that an external statement remains unchanged, so policy-sensitive decisions should always be confirmed on the official source.

Source-bound resource editions and visible reuse provenance
Completed the current reconstruction pass for the monitored resource catalog. The new editions replace unsupported shortcuts and generic summaries with primary-source evidence records, explicit limits, original decision frameworks, designed portable PDFs, stable citations, visible edition and evidence-review details, and measured download and citation actions. The live resource page is the current record for each edition; the August archive remains a historical snapshot.
Six practical worksheets and a unified catalog
Added worked examples, private in-tab worksheets, and two-page PDFs for search planning, citation management, data handoff, cover letters, reviewer responses, and journal verification. Worksheet source checks are dated separately from the surrounding guides. These new files are not yet part of the August Zenodo archive.
Permanent archive published
Published the toolkit files, manifest, citation metadata, checksums, and downloadable checklists in Zenodo under concept DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21817611.
Institutional readiness release
Made the educational collection free of paid product links, added collection-wide CC BY 4.0 reuse terms, published maintenance and data-handling links, improved link labels, and added a structured student and librarian review path.
Student resource hub release
Organized the collection by student task, added search and format filters, a first-paper path, established public resources, limitations, review dates, and a ready-to-paste library listing.
