Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Secondary sources have a different intended audience than PSL and are thus usually written in different structures and language than PSL.

    “We also did not include approaches that focused on teaching students how to read secondary sources (e.g., newspaper articles, popular science media, and reviews), which have a different intended audience than PSL and are thus usually written in different structures and language than PSL (Yarden, 2009).”

    From Reading Primary Scientific Literature: Approaches for Teaching Students in the Undergraduate STEM Classroom (2023) · cites this paper as Yarden, 2009

    In “Distinguishing Between Various Scientific Text Genres” (pp. 1–3), Yarden contrasts PSL, written by scientists for scientists in a canonical structure, with journalistic reports and textbooks intended for other audiences and organized differently. The paper does not establish that all the secondary sources listed in the citing sentence—including reviews—have different audiences or language from PSL. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
