Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “World Journal of Urology” as scientific journal. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewUseful for establishing the present vocabulary of the subject while preserving a route back to the evidence on which that vocabulary rests. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1983, 2008, 2025—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1983. The account is most persuasive where World, Journal and Urology can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the science & nature register because the source frames it as scientific journal. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q15750774. 4 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1983, 2008 and 2025.

Critical limits

Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. 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.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
