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

  • The central problem of citation counts for measuring research impact is that norms and conventions of citation are not precisely formalized, which is why it is uncertain what is being measured.

  • In a survey of psychology journal editors and editorial advisory board members (Cronin, 1982), more than 80 percent of the participants believed that scientists frequently fail to cite all pertinent work and that authors tend to cite those whose views support their own.

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.
