Curated picks

Records starred because a curated list includes them. Curation is not peer review: every record keeps its own verification status, and flagged items stay visible with their warnings.

PSSD Discord · Papers & Resources Mentioned

The list, in its original order (#1–#29)

Every item on the list is in the corpus. #1 was already there as PSSD-003, so it was starred in place rather than duplicated; #17 and #22 are videos. For 14 items the list’s label differs from the verified title or year — mostly mislabelled papers — so those records use the verified title and show the label as listed beneath it.
