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

  • A substantial amount of timber waste is used in energy industries; for instance, in the Netherlands, a massive amount of wood waste created from CDW is fuel for power plants and heat generation.

    “A substantial amount of timber waste is used in energy industries; for instance, in the Netherlands, a massive amount of wood waste created from CDW is fuel for power plants and heat generation [2].”

    From Circular Economy of Construction and Demolition Wood Waste—A Theoretical Framework Approach (2022) · cites this paper as [2]

    Section 2, “Construction Wastes Problem,” reports quantities of recyclable wood and paper in Hong Kong, but does not describe their use as fuel. Searches for Netherlands, power plants, heat generation, and timber-waste energy use found no passage addressing the claim. (LLM, conf=0.76)

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.
