In the citing paper
“The sensitivity analysis in the same paper showed that a two-fold increase in both lipid yield and algal production could improve cost structure of the business by half.”
From Bio-aviation Fuel: A Comprehensive Review and Analysis of the Supply Chain Components (2020) · cites this paper as Sun et al. 2011
In the citing paper
“Sun et al. (2011) carried out a rigorous comparative cost analysis that revealed no strong correlation between production scale and the cost of producing algal oil because of increased capital costs associated with the infrastructure required for algal cultivation.”

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.
