Verified Citation Index

This is the documentary citation record for the circulated papers of the Audited State Research Programme. It answers a narrow question: what literature is actually printed in the reference sections of the papers now in circulation?

For the broader intellectual map — including relevant literature that informed Audited State without necessarily becoming a formal paper citation — see the Research Bibliography.

“Verified” here means that the reference is physically present in the circulated/submitted manuscript used for this index. It does not by itself certify that the source supports every claim made from it, nor does it silently standardize different editions or citation variants.

No. 111-2, 123 Stat. 5. - Note: the continental-drift timeline (§VII.1) is grounded in a full-text-verified citation to Vine & Matthews (1963), with independent confirmation that the paper’s initial reception was muted and that wider acceptance developed gradually over subsequent years — this is reflected directly in §VII’s text rather than compressed into a single “confirming test.” The Semmelweis mortality figures and the Kiel-ward claim (§VII.2) are now sourced to Best & Neuhauser (2004), Stang, Standl & Poole (2022), and Lepenos et al. (2024), each indepen- dently verified against multiple converging sources; the underlying facts are no longer flagged provisional, though the specific classification of this case as suppression versus contested resistance still awaits direct evi- dence of formal blockage, as stated in §VII.2’s own confidence assessment. Nine citations in total were newly added and independently verified during this pass (Best & Neuhauser 2004; Dotson 2011; Douglas 2000; Hess, Ottinger, Kempner, Howard, Gibbon & Frickel 2010; Lepenos et al. 2024; Miller 2021; Pandolfo, Reader & Gillespie 2025; Stang, Standl & Poole 2022; Vine & Matthews 1963). Still outstanding: sources for §I’s James Lind Alliance methodology and §VI’s ABP/JLA/GESET characterization remain secondary rather than primary.

Relationship to the Bibliography

The Research Bibliography is intentionally broader than this index. Audited State accumulated a genuine literature environment before its paper-level citation discipline became consistent. A work may therefore be relevant to the programme without appearing in a circulated paper. Conversely, this index records every reference found in those papers whether or not that source has yet been selected for the human-facing bibliography.
