Sources, editorial scope, and corrections

Updated 2026-09-27.

OpenForex publishes project literature, implementation references, explanatory guides, and synthetic exercises. This page explains what those materials support and how to preserve their source context.

Identify the kind of material

Publication and ratification labels in the project literature describe the publisher's stated status. A third-party audit, certification, legal status, or review should be claimed only where a specific supporting record is available. This website does not turn its own status label into independent evidence.

Follow a claim to its source

Read the linked source, identify its version, and check the scope of the claim. For computation behavior, use the TVX SDK contracts and software provenance record. For the project's monetary framework, start with the Third Value Neutrality Standard.

Each article has a Sources & citation section. Referenced material lists links present in that article; inclusion is not an endorsement or a claim that every linked document independently proves the article's conclusions. Some project repository resources require access; the downloadable SDK and its public references remain usable without it.

External context and data definitions

Use primary data providers to understand inputs before applying a model. The following sources describe distinct concepts and do not validate the OpenForex model:

• World Bank: GDP in current US dollars provides the nominal GDP indicator and its source metadata.
• World Bank: GDP at purchasing power parity, current international dollars provides the PPP GDP indicator and its source metadata.
• IMF: Special Drawing Rights explains the IMF's SDR. It is contextual reading, not an assertion that QASH has the SDR's institutional status or characteristics.

For a reproducible experiment, record the indicator, units, economy, period, retrieval date, source revision where available, and any transformation. GDP measures with different units or price bases are not interchangeable without a stated method. This website does not fetch live macroeconomic observations for the learning lab.

Cite a particular text

Cite the article title, publisher, canonical URL, and your access date. Include the source version and source-stated update when supplied. Download the Markdown and retain its SHA-256 fingerprint when a review depends on exact wording. The website's current URL may change over time; the fingerprint identifies text but does not itself create an archived copy.

Dates are shown only when stated by the source. A deployment date is not a new ratification date. Founder attribution identifies the project's origin; it does not imply that the founder individually authored or reviewed every article.

Corrections and review

Use the contribution brief builder to record the affected URL, the statement in question, the evidence, and a proposed correction. The builder downloads a brief; it does not submit it. Follow the available channel on the source repository page. Repository access may be required.

Changes to a method or governance decision follow the RFC process. Editorial improvements should preserve the distinction between what the source states, what a calculation demonstrates, and what remains a proposal.
