An independent reliability index for the organisations behind biosphere information

BIRI™ (Biosphere Information Reliability Index) is an independent system that assesses the long-term reliability of organisations publishing information about the biosphere.

Rather than judging whether an individual article or statement is true or false, BIRI™ evaluates the organisation behind the information.

The assessment considers factors including transparency, governance, evidence standards and public accountability. The result is a reliability ranking designed to help people place information into context.

BIRI™ is intended to complement search engines and artificial intelligence by providing an additional quality signal when evaluating information sources.
