Sources, Versions, and Update Policy
Sources, versioning, update priorities, and limitations for the dossier, official records, archived legacy content, and dynamic metrics.
Source governance and priority
- Formal records: appointment letters, award certificates, approved grants, version-of-record publication pages, and DOIs.
- Official public pages: Taiwan Tech, NSTC, publishers, and scholarly databases.
- 2026 chair-professorship re-evaluation dossier: core 2021–2025 achievements plus supplementary information through July 2026.
- Legacy PiM website archive: preserved text, files, and 1,017 links; historical records are not deleted when summaries are updated.

Traceability and limitations
Legacy IP availability: the original IP homepage could not be reached directly from the build environment. This edition therefore uses the complete archived package, its link register, the dossier, and verifiable official pages. All legacy links are preserved, but continued availability depends on their source servers.
Media coverage, ranking services, and database metrics are treated as versioned snapshots rather than permanent facts. Updates should retain the previous value, query date, and source.
Source priority: formal records and official pages > the 2026 dossier > preserved legacy-site records. Dynamic citation and ranking metrics are dated.
