The Sources website www.sources.com is built around a controlled-vocabulary subject index comprising more than 23,000 topics. This subject index is underpinned by an "Intelligent Search' system which helps reporters focus their searches by suggesting additional subjects related to their search terms. For example, a search for 'cancer' will suggest terms such as 'chemotherapy', 'melanoma', 'oncology', 'radiation therapy', 'tobacco diseases' and 'tumours', and as well as topics that actually contain the word 'cancer'.
Each topic reference links in turn to experts and spokespersons on that topic, with profiles describing their expertise and where relevant their approach to the issue, along with their phone numbers and other contact information. Sources includes listings for universities and research institutes, non-profit associations and NGOs, government and public sector bodies, businesses, and individuals including academics, public speakers, and consultants.
The subject index and the search menus are being translated into French, Spanish, and German to make Sources more of an international resource.
