How Sources Are Chosen
A dataset is published only when its licence clearly allows reuse on a free, advertising supported website with attribution. Sources whose terms restrict commercial reuse, or whose terms we have not been able to confirm, are not used, even when the data is publicly visible elsewhere.
Every page names the sources behind its figures in a source line next to the data, with a link to the licence. If you represent a data provider and see a problem with how your data is credited, the methodology page explains how figures are processed.
