Template

When you cite sources, we request you cite them using this format:

* “Title” by (or if video or audio, uploaded) “author” (skip author section if there’s no author) link [file type (if applicable), file size (if applicable), language (in abbreviated two-letters ISO form)] (any disclaimers like conflicts of interest, bigotry, biases etc or notes about the source should be put here in parentheses)

### **Topic**

*List from broad to specific, repeat. Use Heading for title (eg. “Bigotry”, “Economics”) and Subheading 1 for categorizing resource lists and notes (listed below).*

*Link dump anything that doesn’t fit into below categories at top-- from blog posts, zines to magazine articles at the top below the topic header. When bogged down, we will figure out how to split these links up while being respectful to the creators / authors.*

### **Research Articles**

*Peer-reviewed materials, usually academic, that don’t fit into traditional media or alternative media goes here. Research articles basically examine data in order to prove a hypothesis. If paywalled, try to liberate using Sci-Hub-- assuming the author doesn’t already upload the PDF on their own personal website.*

### **News Articles**

*Links to traditional media goes here. If cluttered, consider splitting off opinions and editorials pieces into their own category. To read between the lines of corporate and state media, we encourage reading textbooks and academic papers to flesh out a better picture of the world.*

### **Magazine Articles**

*Magazines have a different curation process than newspapers, so partition off magazine articles here.*

### **Blog Posts**

*Blogs are an important part of alternative media ecosystems. Being self-published, this kind of medium should have its own subsection. People’s trust with this kind of medium varies, so blog posts are partitioned.*

*When a blog post gets picked up by a magazine or news outlet, please move the URLs to that section.*

### **Documents**

*Primary sources, eg. letters, diary entries, government documents etc goes here.*

### **Encyclopedia**

*As titled. Since most people don’t trust encyclopedia entries, they should be in their own category. Anyone savvy would check citations to ensure what is said is confirmed. List from broad to specific.*

### **Books**

*Most of the nonsense online or conspiratorial thoughts in meet-spaces can be debunked by reading a book. Usually there is about 10+ years of research on a topic.*

*But not everyone is willing to go to the bookstore or have access to a library for oddly specific niche topics like “frontier capitalism in Central Asia”. Link to a purchasing place that isn’t Amazon if liberated text is not available. Try to link to various formats (eg. PDF, EPUB, MOBI, DOC etc) for multiple devices from online libraries (Archive.org, Marxists.org, Anarchist Library, LibGen, LibCom, BannedThought, other websites etc).*

### **Excerpts**

*Files and links that lift from a book (eg. a chapter), but don’t comprise the entire book.*

### **Audio**

*A lot of people are auditory learners, and don’t like reading or cannot read print. If cluttered, split into audiobooks and podcasts as separate categories.*

### **Films and TV Series**

*Documentaries, TV series, movies etc goes here. If paywalled or region-locked under an unfamiliar link (eg. NFB, Yle, NRK), please note.*

### **Music**

*If something can be learned through listening to music, list here.*

### **Videos**

*Everything else video-related goes here.*

### **Websites**

*Anything requiring leaving this document that doesn’t fit into above categories goes here.*

### **Archived**

*Social media posts prone to disappearing from the Internet or deletion go here. Use archive.is, archive.vn, Wayback Machine, ThreadReaderApp etc. Archiving a webpage also be re-direct evidence of fascist entryism without giving the original site traffic.*

### **Notes**

*Brief summaries for people to understand context. Just make sure whatever you say can be backed up by someone combing through the above links.*
