Marcus Ellison, Citation Verification Editor at Statuteworks

Citation Verification Editor

Verifies every citation against its source before publication and maintains citation health afterwards.

Marcus reviews every citation before publication to confirm that it is current, reachable, specific, and actually supports the sentence it is attached to.

His work sits at the center of the Statuteworks accuracy process. Marcus checks official source links, compares cited passages against article claims, flags vague or outdated references, and replaces weak citations with stronger ones whenever possible. He also helps maintain citation health after publication by reviewing broken links, moved government pages, and updated court or agency materials. Marcus’ job is to make sure readers can follow the source trail themselves.
