 | | The Authority field lists citations of all references (books, journals, dictionaries, encyclopedias, etc.) used for the generation of a material’s record. |
 | | Each record in CAMEO is the result of checking a minimum of two references for clarification and verification of data; over half of the CAMEO records are the result of checking 3-20 sources (e.g., dictionaries, journals, encyclopedias, scientific handbooks, MSDS sheets, Web pages). |
 | | It is readily accessible from any full record page in the database. |
