“It is remarkable that many studies (Verhoeff et al., 2008;Hmelo-Silver et al., 2017;Tripto et al., 2017) highlight the development of systems language, while (except for Verhoeff et al., 2008) no explicit reference is made to one of the systems theories from which the vocabulary has been derived from.”

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.
