Method, sources and limitations

How a record is compiled

Each record starts from an alert, a testimony or a public source. The editorial team cross-checks the date, location and toll, then assigns a verification level which remains visible on the record. An official toll and an alternative toll may coexist: they are displayed side by side rather than adjudicated.

What the figures do not show

A drop in the number of records may reflect a genuine lull as well as a loss of access to an area. Events occurring outside covered areas, or which cannot be cross-checked, do not appear here. These data document field work and do not constitute an exhaustive count.

Reuse and reporting

Published data are freely accessible and exportable. Any reuse must cite the source and retain the verification level associated with each record. An error, clarification or missing fact can be reported to the editorial team.

Report a fact or correction
