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 cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“Previous findings showed that monetary incentives were not necessarily motivators for reducing energy consumption because of the low costs (Delmas et al., 2013), but there might be a different effect for food waste.”
From Eco-Feedback for Food Waste Reduction in a Student Residence (2021) · cites this paper as Delmas et al., 2013
The cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“The fact that financial considerations were not a very important driver of behavior is actually consistent with findings of studies conducted in residential environments in which participants do, in fact, pay a utility bill [9].”

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.
