Note: this Reading List is broken into subject categories in an effort to make it more usable, but of course many works might be easily be categorized differently or in multiple categories. Also, the sub-categories we use, "articles/papers", "peer-reviewed research" and "books" are sometimes overlapping or unclear. In some cases we may list a work in more than one category or sub-category if it seems especially category-crossing. In any case, we suggest not relying too much on the categories, and browsing / searching the whole list.
▲== Terms, conventions, abbreviations used in list: ==
* Unfixed or undated document sources, e.g. Wikipedia, are or should be listed with "Accessed on [date]."
* URLs are presented directly in the text, rather than hidden behind link text, to make them more easily/durably copyable and for their descriptive value.
* Many sources are presented with multiple URLs. Usually this is to present both an official/canonical source link, e.g. a DOI (see below), as well as some other source that provides greater access in some way, such as an article preprint version.
* Government bodies as authors are generally listed by location name, i.e. "Portland, City of" rather than "City of Portland".
*A goal is to facilitate as much open, direct access to cited sources as possible. E.g. by:
* Planned: gather and make available the bibliography in a more standard and reusable form, such as a [https://www.zotero.org/ Zotero] reference collection.▼
*# including standard identifiers such as LC number, ISBN, or DOI for every item as much as possible, in machine-discoverable and -usable form;
▲*
*#locating and linking to free or preprint versions of papers or books;
*#trying to make this access as durable and archival as possible, e.g. by archiving backups of freely available materials, bundling these source archives with the wiki and/or subprojects such as [[Village Buildings]] book, etc.<br />
'''DOI: Digital Object Identifier''' - a standard identifier for a published item, widely assigned to newly published research items since the 1990s and sometimes retroactively assigned to older items.
