What the evidence base looks like
- 14Sources used on the page
- 14Read in full at their own pages, rather than through a summary
- 12Primary documents: statutes, official lists, a gazette, a judgment
- 2Sources approached and discarded, cited nowhere on the page
| Function | How many | How they were read |
|---|---|---|
| A statute, in its own words | 2 | Full text from an official legal database |
| An official list of scheduled substances | 6 | Full text, and every count on the page was taken by walking the numbering |
| A government notice announcing a change | 3 | Full text of the gazette and the two notice documents |
| A court, on the law it was asked about | 1 | The operative holding read verbatim, not through a summary of it |
| A news agency on enforcement | 2 | Full text. One carries an interview that supplies the caveat on its own figures; a sidebar on the same page contradicts its body text and was not used |
