Assessment
Reliability Tier1
A peer reviewed article in PLOS ONE, an established open-access journal with an editorial and peer review process; this atlas's top tier for independent scholarly publication. NotesThakuri, Thapa, Singh, Khanal and Khatri's 2021 PLOS ONE study of Chhaupadi prevalence among adolescent girls in far-western Nepal, 16(9):e0256968. Used here for the article's own etymology finding, that the word derives from a local Raute dialect term for an unclean or untouchable state, not for any claim about ancient scriptural origin, which the article does not make.
