How entries are sourced
Updated
A connection on the map needs at least one primary source.
Primary sources
| Type of source | Examples |
|---|---|
| Mass media | Media verified by the Press Council (Dewan Pers) |
| News agencies | Antara, Reuters, AFP, AP |
| Court documents | The Supreme Court's directory of rulings (Direktori Putusan), district courts' case tracking systems (SIPP) |
| State institutions | Press releases from the KPK, the Attorney General's Office and the National Police; e-LHKPN; the KPU; the DPR; JDIH |
| Reference works | Reports from research institutes or civil society organisations, for example ICW. For now they are used only as leads to a primary source, not cited on their own. |
Every citation shows the type of source, the publisher, headline, publication date and a link to the original. Summaries stay within what the source says; where sources differ, the range is shown.
When one source is enough
- News. An allegation or legal status reported only by the media needs two outlets from different owner groups. Outlets in one owner group count as one.
- Court documents. A ruling, order or case document from a court is enough on its own. What a court decided is shown as a decision, including acquittals and rulings in favour of the defendant.
- Official records of state bodies. A press release, announcement, audit report or decision of a state body is enough on its own. Any accusation in it, such as naming a suspect, an audit finding or a list of companies said to be in breach, is always marked Allegation and attributed to that body. The accused party's response is shown when the source carries it; when it does not, the page says so.
Court documents and official records must be open to anyone: on the body's official site, or as a copy in a public web archive. Paywalled documents and documents held only privately are not used. The citation gives the case or decision number, and the page where there is one.
Keeping entries up to date
The map is updated when new reports are found, and every map shows the date of its newest source. An allegation is removed or updated if it is withdrawn or if a court rules on it. If you know of a development we have missed, tell us through the corrections process.
