Frequently Asked Questions

Can I cite Aevum Encyclopedia in peer-reviewed publications? +
Yes. Aevum Encyclopedia is designed for academic use. We provide structured metadata, persistent URLs, and full author/reviewer attribution. Many universities accept it as a secondary reference, and we encourage citing the primary sources linked within each article for primary research.
How do I cite a specific version of an article? +
Each article has an immutable version hash. Use the `/versions` API endpoint or the "Cite this version" button on any article page to generate a timestamped, version-locked citation that prevents future edits from altering your reference.

Absolutely. Our API supports exporting citation data in RIS, BibTeX, CSL JSON, and EndNote XML formats. Simply append `?format=rsl` to any citation endpoint.
Do you guarantee factual accuracy for citations? +
We maintain a 99.9% accuracy rate through our triple-review pipeline (AI cross-check, domain expert review, and primary source verification). However, as with any living reference work, we recommend consulting original sources for critical academic claims. Our audit logs ensure full transparency if corrections occur.
