This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Nanjing University of Science and Technology” as public university in Nanjing, Jiangsu, China. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the history & society register because the source frames it as public university in Nanjing, Jiangsu, China. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The record creator and administrative purpose are central evidence, because official documentation reflects both action and institutional priorities. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3953805. VIAF identifies the subject as 133325333. The Library of Congress control number is n2004059778. Authority coordinates are 32.033, 118.852. 3 of 5 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1953, 1962, 1993 and 1998.
Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
