    “2001; Quinn & Keough 2002): (1) nonsignificant covariate interaction terms must be removed before re-running the final analysis; (2) when there are significant interaction terms, which should not be removed, it is incorrect to interpret the response to the factor as an overall or average main…”

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.
