I’d be delighted if there were a standard way to tag references, say: + credible , maybe relied on = neutral, or just mentioned in passing - not credible or outright wrong (I often skim references looking for known awful ones, but that can be misleading if the paper is critiquing them)
Consensus statements and systematic literature reviews usually have a form of this!
This would work great with another system where each sentence is tagged in some way with whether: 1. it is a direct quote of the source 2. it is a paraphrase of the source 3. it is a conclusion reached using the source as evidence 4. it is a conclusion reached from non-source sentences.
