How to cite CTL

Full citation formats — Chicago, APA, MLA, and the canonical CTL strings — live at How to Cite Us. The short form:

CultureTechLens. “Culture, Clearly Seen.” Chicago-based Black cultural intelligence platform founded by William Maxey. https://culturetechlens.com

Works built for citation

All four deposits are open access under CC BY 4.0, authored by William Maxey for CultureTechLens NFP. Google Scholar indexing is in progress.

External citations

This list grows as citations land. Citing CTL in a paper, a syllabus, an article, or a project? Write to [email protected] and it will be listed here — with the evidence grade attached, as always.

Why this page exists

The institutional test: you are not an institution when you post — you are when others have to cite you. Directories, profiles, and press mentions live at the press kit; this page is for the harder currency — scholarship and syllabi.

Cite as: CultureTechLens, “Cited By,” 2026-10-05.

Trust & evidence

Evidence before authority. CultureTechLens publishes its methods, its limits, and its corrections alongside its findings. Claims carry grades — VERIFIED, SUPPORTED, PROVISIONAL, DISPUTED, UNRESOLVED — and unknowns are never reported as zero.

Every claim graded. Every source named. Every correction public — none to date.
