Why this ranking is different
The composite top-10 ranks by the SourceScore Index — an average of Citation Discipline, Modern Reference, and Citation Velocity. This page surfaces the SAME 10 government sources but ranks ONLY by Citation Velocity. Sources that lead the composite top-10 may not lead on a single dimension — this view is the precision lens.
Use this view when citation velocity is the decision-relevant signal for your citation. The composite ranking is the safer default; this dim-faceted view shows which top-10 source actually leads on the dimension you care about.
