In the citing paper
“This observed gap between knowledge (and, in some cases, attitudes) and practices may partly reflect reporting bias, including social desirability bias, whereby respondents underreport undesirable behaviours and overreport socially acceptable practices [75].”
From Food Safety Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices (KAP) of Urban Consumers in Low-Income and Lower-Middle-Income Countries (LLMICs): A Scoping Review (2026) · cites this paper as [75]
In the citing paper
“Food safety knowledge or attitudes were found to be adequate or satisfactory, suggesting a gap in translation of knowledge and attitudes into practice, possibly from bias due to social desirability (tendency to underreport socially undesirable attitudes and practices, and to over report more desirable attributes) (Jespersen, MacLaurin, & Vlerick, 2017).”

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.
