Claims other papers make about this one

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

  • Elephants do not fare well in captivity.

    “do not fare well in captivity (Clubb & Mason, 2003;Morgan & Tromborg, 2007;Mason, 2010;Fischer & Romero, 2018).”
  • Animal welfare risks in confined breeding conditions arise from confined spaces, inappropriate group sizes, exposure to artificial light, loud or distressing sounds, strong odours, uncomfortable temperatures, and unsuitable flooring.

    “Animal welfare risks in such conditions arise from confined spaces, inappropriate group sizes, exposure to artificial light, loud or distressing sounds, strong odours, uncomfortable temperatures, and unsuitable flooring.”

    From Ethical Concerns about Fashionable Dog Breeding (2024) · cites this paper as [210]

  • Confined breeding conditions can result in health hazards, hindrance in displaying natural behaviours, restricted movement, disrupted resting patterns, sensory overload, stress from isolation, and an inability to engage in playful behaviour.

    “These conditions can result in health hazards, hindrance in displaying natural behaviours, restricted movement, disrupted resting patterns, sensory overload, stress from isolation, and an inability to engage in playful behaviour [209,210].”

    From Ethical Concerns about Fashionable Dog Breeding (2024) · cites this paper as [210]

  • An area in which to retreat may minimise visitor-induced stress on zoo animals by providing choice and control over interactions with visitors.

    “Research has shown that an area in which to retreat may minimise visitor-induced stress on zoo animals by providing a level of choice and control over their interactions with visitors [61,62,63,64].”
  • Animals in zoos are often subjected to microclimatic conditions that can differ greatly from their natural habitat, and to which their species is not usually adapted.

    “Moreover, animals in zoos are often subjected to microclimatic conditions that can differ greatly from their natural habitat, and to which their species is not usually adapted (Morgan and Tromborg, 2007).”

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.
