# Oath Research Ratings — References and Citations > Oath Research Ratings — full reference list. Independent third-party listings, federal CLIA registration database, customer-review aggregators, investigative documentation, and pharmacopeial standards cited throughout the rating.

Source type: Primary-standards. https://www.usp.org/ ## How to read the references Primary sources are the company's own publicly available materials. Primary-government sources are federal databases. Third-party sources are independent vendor-scoring sites and investigative publications. Public-discourse sources are review aggregator pages with verification mechanisms. Primary-standards are published pharmacopeial documents. Where a third-party source could not be directly fetched at scrape time (Trustpilot returned 403; Scam-Detector returned 403), we note the partial-source status and cite the data captured via Google search snippets. ## Editorial standard for the reference list If a reference is wrong — broken URL, misattributed quote, mis-cited statistic — we will issue a corrected reference and a dated note at the bottom of the affected page. Bring documented errors to the contact form on the editorial contact page. --- Four weighted categories, one hundred points, one outside reading — a scored editorial assessment of a research-peptide supplier, sourced only from public records and held to the same rubric it applies.
