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?
The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“This performance is far below that (19–24%) of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI),55,56 nearing that (7–12%) of the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS),57,58 almost equals to that (5–7%) of the Tokyo ETS,59,60 and being superior to the California ETS.61,62”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“All of the ex-post evaluations of the EU ETS,71,72 the RGGI,56,63,73 and the California ETS61,74 indicate that carbon trading can facilitate low-carbon energy transition in regulated firms and regions.”
From Carbon Abatement and Leakage in China's Regional Carbon Emission Trading (2024) · cites this paper as [56]
In the citing paper
“RGGI participating states reduced their emissions considerably stronger compared to non-regulated states62,63, while the carbon price was only US$ 3 on average.”

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.
