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
“It is worth noting that preventing food becoming wasted (e.g. via preventing food waste at source, feeding to other people, etc.) may be more effective than diverting food that has already been categorised as waste away from landfill and incineration to other waste destinations higher up the food waste hierarchy (e.g. composting, anaerobic digestion).”
From Review: Consumption-stage food waste reduction interventions – What works and how to design better interventions (2019) · cites this paper as Moult et al., 2018
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“For example, landfills and composting generate large amounts of greenhouse gases and lead to the eutrophication and acidification of ecosystems (Arafat et al. 2015;Moult et al. 2018).”

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.
