Notes on citation

  • The Bluebook entry is included only when the metadata file carries a hand-written citation.bluebook value. The archive does not synthesize Bluebook citations from parts (style is too sensitive to nuance to fabricate).
  • The Chicago entry is composed from the parties, title, year, publisher, and retrieval date — fields all derived from the metadata file.
  • The BibTeX entry uses the document slug as its key. The SHA256 of the on-disk file is included in the note field for fingerprint-level verification.
  • The Archive citation identifies the canonical copy in this archive, with truncated SHA256 and retrieval date.
  • The Cite this archived version entry pins the bit-exact copy AND its Wayback snapshot: a downstream paper using it can verify the bytes by SHA256 and survive future link rot of the primary URL. Composed entirely from populated metadata fields; absent fields are dropped rather than synthesized.
