- Jocelyn Bell Burnell
- "Jocelyn Bell Burnell: 'Not getting the Nobel has been good for me'" -- Prospect Magazine interview, her own words -- self-testimony, one perspective
- Multiple independently-conducted press interviews (American Physical Society News, 'Don't Second-Guess Yourself,' 2024; CNBC science-prize coverage) in which Bell Burnell discusses the pulsar discovery in her own words -- self-testimony, one perspective
- Alan Penny (School of Physics and Astronomy, University of St Andrews), "The SETI Episode in the 1967 Discovery of Pulsars," European Physical Journal H (2013), arXiv:1302.0641 -- an independent historian-of-science's peer-reviewed account, built from contemporary documentation (Ryle/Hewish correspondence and archives, Bell's own 1968 thesis, Woolgar's 1975/1979 interview-based thesis) plus personal communications from named participants. Opened and read in full. Genuinely independent, non-self, behavioral: gives a dated, specific account of Bell's own sustained pattern-detection work across months (first noticing 'scruff' on Aug 6 1967, recognizing its sidereal-time recurrence in late August, finding a second pulsar source Dec 21, and a third and fourth source in mid-January) and quotes named colleague Craig Mackay, who 'had a desk next to Bell during the discovery,' independently describing the working atmosphere. Notably NOT hagiographic -- the paper explicitly records that Bell Burnell herself disputes parts of its analysis, a sign this is genuine independent scholarship, not a repackaging of her own narrative.
