## STARS — US and international anchors

Information theory, standards literature, and **US + UK** research portals.

### How to read STARS (context)

**STARS** here mix a **foundational DOI** (Shannon) with **standards bodies and research institutes**. They **anchor formalism**; extended arguments still belong in §1–2 with peer-reviewed rows.

| ID | What this STAR denotes | Typical use in this BOOK | Not / caveats |
|----|-------------------------|--------------------------|---------------|
| G-S1 | Shannon (1948) DOI | **Canonical** information theory reference | Historical BSTJ text; later textbook treatments may clarify notation. |
| G-S2 | ITU | **Telecom / IT** standards body | ITU-T vs ITU-R differ; follow the relevant sector. |
| G-S3 | IEEE Xplore | **IEEE** papers and standards catalog | Paywall mix; check institutional access. |
| G-S4 | Alan Turing Institute | UK **data / AI** research institute portal | One national hub; not exhaustive of UK academia. |

| ID | Region | Kind | Note | Identifier |
|----|--------|------|------|------------|
| G-S1 | US | Landmark paper (DOI) | Shannon (1948) — *BSTJ* via DOI | [doi.org/10.1002/j.1538-7305.1948.tb01338.x](https://doi.org/10.1002/j.1538-7305.1948.tb01338.x) |
| G-S2 | Multilateral | IT standards body | ITU | [itu.int](https://www.itu.int/) |
| G-S3 | US | IEEE literature / standards catalog | IEEE Xplore | [ieeexplore.ieee.org](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/) |
| G-S4 | UK | National institute for data / AI | Alan Turing Institute | [turing.ac.uk](https://www.turing.ac.uk/) |
