This section lists the sources cited throughout the book. The numbered source index, ordered by source number, is the canonical bibliography: every inline citation of the form (N, author or organisation, year) links to the entry with that number. The index is grouped by category so that readers can quickly locate the European instruments and case law that govern work and its management, the standards and guidance, the literature of management and of managing by measurement, the research and reporting on algorithmic management and platform work, the evidence on AI, work and automation bias, the incidents and enforcement decisions, the sources on the public sector and co-determination, and the earlier volumes of the series.
Entries 1 to 172 were carried over verbatim from the bibliography of The Transformed Security Architect and keep the access dates recorded there, under that volume's category headings; sources that no chapter of this book cites are removed by scripts/renumber_sources.py --apply before release. Entry 173 and the entries from 174 onwards were added for this book and checked against their live pages on 2026-11-06.
Inline citations give the source number, the author or organisation, and the year, and are written ([N, Author, Year](36_references.md#source-N)), for example (1, European Union, 2024), so that they link to the entry here. Where an author is named in the sentence, the citation still carries the source number and year. Each chapter closes with a ## Sources section that lists the works it cites, using the same numbering as this bibliography. New sources are appended to the appropriate category with the next free number; before a merge to main, scripts/renumber_sources.py --apply restores the order 1..N without gaps and removes sources that no chapter cites, after which scripts/format_citations.py --fix and scripts/update_reference_backlinks.py bring the citations and back-references up to date.
