Editorial Methodology
Our approach separates historical documentation, observed change, and speculation.
1. Historical occupations
Historical claims should be checked against reputable archives, museums, historical publications, or primary records. Dates and regional differences should be stated when sources support them.
2. Contemporary work
Where possible, established occupations should be distinguished from informal titles, emerging specializations, and responsibilities shared across existing roles.
3. Future career concepts
Speculative roles are labeled as proposed or possible. Their existence, future demand, or likely salary should not be asserted without supporting evidence.
4. Synthetic data
Generated datasets are combinations of programmed inputs. Row counts are not counts of distinct real-world jobs. Duplicates, invalid combinations, and misleading descriptions must be assessed.
5. Images and attribution
The current edition uses locally created vector illustrations rather than historical photographs. If you replace them with archival images, check licensing and provide appropriate attribution.
6. Corrections and sourcing
Before publishing articles as research, add article-specific references and verify statements. Where an assertion cannot be confirmed, qualify or remove it.
