“The CSIs are appealing for communication, but they may potentially send over-simplistic (or even misleading) messages as they only provide aggregate information [8,21,45].”

“In essence, the way the farmers perceive and rate their quality of life is crucial to determining continuity in farming [21].”

In the citing paper
“In this research, it was found that the systems with the largest proportions of part-time farmers (FS3, FS4) had the lowest average scores for advisory services, which is consistent with the findings of Ripoll-Bosch, D í ez-Unquera, Ruiz, Villalba, Molina, Joy, Olaizola, and Bernu é s [21].”

“It is a source of income diversification and an alternative livelihood strategy (especially for small-scale farmers) that may keep farming activity alive [16,21,35].”

“However, bottom-up approaches might be complex in practice, due to di erent stakeholder perceptions about sustainability [21].”
From Integrated Sustainability Assessment of Divergent Mediterranean Farming Systems: Cyprus as a Case Study (2020) · cites this paper as [21]
In the citing paper
“Interestingly, some studies that used bottom-up approaches to identify sustainability indicators / criteria, revealed that farmers give higher importance to socioeconomic issues than to environmental sustainability [21,55].”

In the citing paper
“Therefore, extrapolating the results from farms to FSs (or sectors) is indeed challenging and certainly not straightforward [21].”

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.
