Log sources and stories
Use this page to add new entries to the public research library. Each entry includes a Title, Topic, and Source URL. Approved contributors can also create new topics while logging.
How it works
What you can log
Keep entries consistent so they’re easy to search, compare, and cite.
Study or report
Add a clear title and link to research on water use, grid impacts, emissions, land use, or economic claims.
News or public record
Log articles, filings, meeting minutes, contracts, subsidy announcements, and procurement details to help follow the money.
Community account
Capture firsthand experiences and local impacts—noise, water pressure changes, rate increases, construction disruption, and more.
Policy or legislation
Track bills, regulatory actions, and utility proceedings that shift costs to communities or enable buildouts.
Data quality
Log it so others can use it
Strong entries make the database more useful for residents, researchers, journalists, and policymakers.
Use descriptive titles
Include the place, company, or issue so entries are easy to scan and de-duplicate.
Link to primary sources
Prefer original documents, official filings, and direct reporting whenever possible.
Logging FAQ
Quick answers for contributors and readers.
Who can submit entries?
Only approved contributors can submit new entries. If you’d like to help, request access and share why you’re interested.
What fields are required?
Each entry should include a Title, a Topic, and a Source URL.
Can I create a new topic?
Yes—contributors can create a new topic while logging an entry when an existing topic doesn’t fit.
What makes a good source URL?
Use a stable link to the original source (PDF, docket, official page, or the publisher’s article page). Avoid shortened links when possible.
Should I log duplicates?
Try searching first. If a source is already logged, consider adding a related source under the same topic instead.
Is my submission public immediately?
Entries are intended for the public library, but availability may depend on site configuration and contributor permissions.
