These 7 Reports then Link to Each Other.
Thus, each of these pages includes lists of articles that list the (1) author, (2) title, (3) publisher, publication date and (4) the issues and (5) myths that are covered in the articles. Each of these items - the author, title, publisher, and issues and myths are actually all live links that lead to the corresponding page of that author, publication (as per its title), publisher, issue and myth.
The Publication Page in turn also contains links to the original article on the website of its publisher, as well as (6) Quote Pages listing the quotes that came from that publication to illustrate the myths it is associated, as well as the author(s), publisher, issues and myths live links associated with that quote and the publication it came from... live links which again lead to the individual pages for that author, publislher, issue and myth.

Thus You Can Leap From Report to Report Gathering the Information You Need.
Thus, for example, you could jump to the individual page of any author just by pushing on his name which browsing through any of the reports you happen to be reading while using the website.
In turn, you could jump to the individual page for any publisher just by pushing on that pubisher's name wherever you see it while using the page.
You could then see what that author has written and what that publisher has published, see the corresponding myths that they cover in their publications, and then use the corresponding issue pages to then provide you with the facts you need to write with authority about that myth while corresponding with that author or publisher in order to hold them accountable for the quality of their writing.
That author and publisher in turn could then use those same pages to lead to the issues they would need to then write with more accuracy in the future.
|
|
You Can Use the Issue Pages to Understand and Explain the Myths More Accurately and Thoroughly.
For example, they could view the individual pages of the myths they have been associated with, and see the Issues that have been listed there which supposedly contain lists of information resources (reports, studies, statistics, etc.) that describe the truth about that myth more accurately. They could then use that information in the future in their new writing and publishing to write more accurately about that sub-topic and the conflict in general.
