Data sources

Every number from an outside source carries a citation next to it: the source, what it measures, the year, and the date we fetched it.

Our rules

  • Each number links to the record or search it came from, so you can check it.
  • When a source has no number for a page, we hide that box. We never fill gaps with guesses.
  • Acuitas market sizes, growth rates and forecasts are only in our paid reports. They are never shown or cited on free pages.
  • Research papers are shown as titles and links only. We do not copy abstracts.
  • Side effect reports to the FDA are not proof that a medicine caused the effect.
  • Companies found in public records are shown apart from the key players in our research.
