Ballotpedia identifies scholarly mentions by doing a search for “Ballotpedia” in Google Scholar, a popular search engine that indexes scholarly content from across the web.[1] We download the data from Google Scholar directly, and in many cases, information such as page numbers, volume, and publisher data might be missing because the authors or publications haven’t fully completed the metadata. We don’t add this data ourselves.
This page is updated annually. If you are aware of other scholarly citations that should be included, please email us.
