- Agree maintenance and disclosure before launch.
Relevant proposals
We welcome proposals for source-based research, educational resources and tools that improve a reader’s understanding. Describe the contribution, evidence, rights to use any material and any commercial interest.
An explicit relationship
A collaboration does not establish editorial endorsement or provider suitability. Commercial interests should be disclosed with the affected material. We do not offer paid access to a supposedly independent ranking.
Before launch
Distribution, privacy responsibilities, licensing and disclosure should be documented before a collaboration goes live. No partnership, membership, certification or paid program is created by visiting this page.
Agree a scope that can be maintained
A proposal should explain the reader’s question, the contribution, deliverables, source records, rights, timetable and relevant interests. If personal information is involved, identify collection, access and deletion responsibilities before launch.
A written scope should address ownership, distribution, disclosure, costs and future corrections. A partnership is useful when the resource can be inspected and maintained, not merely when a promotional link has been added.
Open resources
Inspect the work. Follow the evidence.
The research methods page documents the selected 1,000-city dataset, reference years and 538 distinct mapped county areas. It explains why county observations must not be summed as if they were separate city economies.
