“This process often impels complementors to align their content strategies and business models with the technical parameters and governing frameworks of platform providers (Nieborg & Poell, 2018;Tiwana, 2014), resulting gradually in a convergence of the platformization of infrastructure and the infrastructuralization of platforms (Plantin et al., 2018;van Dijck, 2021).”

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.
