Source Quality Rating System

来源质量评级体系

  • A - Excellent: Peer-reviewed journals with impact factor, meta-analyses, RCTs, government regulatory bodies
  • B - Good: Cohort studies, clinical guidelines, reputable analysts (Gartner, Forrester), government websites
  • C - Acceptable: Expert opinion pieces, case reports, company white papers, reputable news outlets
  • D - Weak: Preprints, conference abstracts, blog posts without editorial oversight, crowdsourced content
  • E - Very Poor: Anonymous content, clear bias/conflict of interest, outdated sources, broken/suspicious links
  • A - 优秀：带影响因子的同行评审期刊、元分析、随机对照试验（RCT）、政府监管机构发布的内容
  • B - 良好：队列研究、临床指南、知名分析机构（如Gartner、Forrester）、政府网站
  • C - 可接受：专家观点文章、病例报告、企业白皮书、知名新闻媒体
  • D - 较弱：预印本、会议摘要、无编辑监督的博客文章、众包内容
  • E - 极差：匿名内容、存在明显偏见/利益冲突、过时来源、无效/可疑链接

Validation Process

验证流程

Step 1: Claim Detection

步骤1：声明识别

Scan the research content and identify all factual claims:
  • Statistics and numbers
  • Dates and timelines
  • Technical specifications
  • Market data (sizes, growth rates)
  • Performance claims
  • Quotes and paraphrases
  • Cause-effect statements
扫描研究内容，识别所有事实性声明：
  • 统计数据和数字
  • 日期和时间线
  • 技术规格
  • 市场数据（规模、增长率）
  • 性能声明
  • 引用和转述内容
  • 因果关系陈述

Step 2: Citation Presence Check

步骤2：引用存在性检查

For each factual claim, verify a citation exists.
针对每一项事实性声明，验证是否配有引用。

Step 3: Citation Completeness Check

步骤3：引用完整性检查

Verify all required elements (author, date, title, URL/DOI, pages) are present.
验证是否包含所有必要要素（作者、日期、标题、URL/DOI、页码）。

Step 4: Source Quality Assessment

步骤4：来源质量评估

Assign quality rating (A-E) to each complete citation.
为每一条完整的引用分配A-E等级的质量评级。

Step 5: Citation Accuracy Verification

步骤5：引用准确性验证

Use WebSearch or WebFetch to find and verify the original source.
使用WebSearch或WebFetch工具查找并验证原始来源。

Step 6: Hallucination Detection

步骤6：虚构内容检测

Red Flags:
  1. No citation provided for factual claim
  2. Citation doesn't exist (URL leads nowhere)
  3. Citation exists but doesn't support claim
  4. Numbers suspiciously precise without source
  5. Generic source ("Industry reports") without specifics
危险信号：
  1. 事实性声明未提供引用
  2. 引用不存在（链接无效）
  3. 引用存在但不支持对应声明
  4. 数字异常精确却无来源支撑
  5. 来源模糊（如“行业报告”）且无具体信息

Step 7: Chain-of-Verification for Critical Claims

步骤7：关键声明的链式验证

For high-stakes claims (medical, legal, financial):
  1. Find 2-3 independent sources supporting the claim
  2. Check for consensus among sources
  3. Identify any contradictions
  4. Assess source quality (prefer A-B ratings)
  5. Note uncertainty if sources disagree
针对高风险声明（医疗、法律、金融领域）：
  1. 查找2-3个独立来源支撑该声明
  2. 检查来源之间是否存在共识
  3. 识别任何矛盾之处
  4. 评估来源质量（优先选择A-B等级）
  5. 若来源存在分歧，需注明不确定性
