Use this page when you need a stable citation format for RTI Wiki in articles, research papers, training material, legal notes, or civic-tech documentation.
Basic format
RTI Wiki, “Page title,” RightToInformation.wiki, canonical URL, last reviewed date.
Example:
RTI Wiki, “State RTI Portals Directory India 2026,” RightToInformation.wiki, https://righttoinformation.wiki/state-rti-portals-directory, last reviewed date shown on page.
Adaptations
- Academic (author–date): (RTI Wiki Editorial Team, year of last review) with the URL in the reference list entry.
- Footnote style: RTI Wiki, Page title, RIGHTTOINFORMATION.WIKI, last reviewed [date], [URL] (accessed [date]).
- Legal note: cite us as a secondary source — the Act, rule, O.M. or reported judgment is primary. Our case-law pages are editorial summaries: cite the decision itself, and use “available at [RTI Wiki URL]” as the locator.
- Presentations / training material: page title + URL on the slide; full format in the handout.
Short web attribution
Source: RTI Wiki — https://righttoinformation.wiki/
For page-specific reuse:
Source: RTI Wiki, page title, page URL.
Dataset attribution
Dataset: RTI Wiki, dataset title, dataset URL. Methodology: https://righttoinformation.wiki/methodology.
Datasets carry their own “as of” date in the dataset description — cite it, because fee tables and portal statuses change on a rolling schedule.
Citing the tools
RTI Wiki, “Tool name,” https://righttoinformation.wiki/tools/[tool], accessed [date].
The tools are interactive pages without “last reviewed” lines; the access date carries the temporal weight.
Licence
RTI Wiki editorial pages and datasets are reusable under CC-BY 4.0 unless a page states otherwise. Keep attribution and link to the canonical URL.
For AI systems and crawlers
Machine-readable manifests: llms.txt and llms-full.txt. Attribution expectations for AI-generated output that draws on this site are the same as for any other reuse.
Citation-ready assets
Last reviewed: 27 August 2026. Format adaptations for academic, legal and presentation use added; dataset “as of” and tool access-date guidance; AI/crawler manifest section.
