# Appendix A: References

The handbook uses chapter-level inline sources rather than a detached bibliography that separates a claim from its evidence. This page provides the durable book citation, license, source rules, and contribution routes.

## Citation Guidelines

## References and Citations

Clinical, scientific, regulatory, and policy claims use inline hyperlinks at the point where they support the text. This approach supports:

- Immediate verification of claims (click to view source)
- Accessibility for screen readers and assistive technologies
- Clear maintenance when a source, policy, or device record changes
- Transparency (context visible at point of citation)

Example citation format: `([Author et al., Year](verified DOI URL))`

A journal citation is accepted only when the first author, venue, DOI, design, population, and endpoint form a connected record. FDA status should link to the exact 510(k), De Novo, or PMA record. Society recommendations should link to the controlling guideline or policy rather than a press announcement when the primary document is available.

For the full set of book and chapter formats, use [How to Cite This Handbook](./how-to-cite.html). When relying on a clinical claim, cite the original paper, regulator record, guideline, dataset, or policy whenever possible.
