Our source list
Every editorial claim on homeopathy.software sits on a source. This page lists the source classes the editorial board treats as load-bearing, the four-tier grading scheme the site uses, and the canonical bibliographic anchors that recur across the site.
How we grade sources
The site applies the four-grade rubric defined on the public editorial-process page [1]. Where a page mixes grades, each sentence is labelled with the grade of the source behind it. The editorial process page sets out how grades are assigned and reviewed.
| Grade | What counts | Where it shows up on the site |
|---|---|---|
| A | Institutional and professional-society policy statements | Cited by year and issuing body where relevant to clinical or professional context [1] |
| B | Single peer-reviewed study or recognised professional-society guideline | Methodology pages and buyer's-guide vendor specifications with a fetch date |
| C | Classical literature: Hahnemann, Kent, Hering, Boericke, Boenninghausen, Boger, Vithoulkas, Sankaran, Scholten | Remedy pages and methodology articles |
| D | Observational, anecdotal, or single-practitioner editorial projection | Tagged explicitly; not used to support a clinical claim |
Grade C is the load-bearing source for remedy descriptions and practitioner methodology. Grade A documents institutional and professional-society positions and is cited with the year and issuing body so readers can locate the primary document directly.
Practitioner-tradition canon
Grade C is the published practitioner literature the site treats as the load-bearing reference for remedy descriptions, methodology articles, and historical attributions. The default ordering is chronological: Samuel Hahnemann's Organon (sixth edition) and Chronic Diseases; James Tyler Kent's Repertory and Lectures on Homeopathic Materia Medica; Constantine Hering's Guiding Symptoms of Our Materia Medica; Clemens von Boenninghausen's Therapeutic Pocket Book; Cyrus Maxwell Boger's Synoptic Key; William Boericke's Pocket Manual of Homoeopathic Materia Medica with Repertory; George Vithoulkas's The Science of Homeopathy; Rajan Sankaran's The Substance of Homeopathy and the sensation-method volumes [2]. Editions and translators are recorded in each remedy page's References block; they are never assumed.
Vendor and product sources
Vendor claims about Similia, RadarOpus, Synergy, Complete Dynamics, Hompath, Zomeo, and Vithoulkas Compass cite each vendor's own primary documentation with the date the page was fetched. The editorial board re-fetches vendor pages every 90 days for pricing, feature, and platform claims, per the update-cadence schedule [1]. Where Similia features are described in editorial voice, the source is the public Similia product reference fetched on the cited date [3].
Disclosure and editorial independence
The site is editorially independent and funded by Similia. Full terms of the funding relationship are set out on /about/funding/. Rubric weights, evidence-grade distribution, and ranking decisions are reviewed quarterly by an external advisor named on that funding page. Practitioners who want to audit Similia against the same source discipline used here can Try Similia Pro free and judge the workflow alongside the bibliographic anchors above.
