Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The hydrochar derives from two reaction pathways leading to primary char (solid-solid conversion) and secondary char (condensation and re-polymerization of dissolved intermediates in the liquid phase).

    “In particular, the solid residue resulting from HTC (the hydrochar) derives from two different reaction pathways, which lead to two distinct solid fractions. One is called 'primary char' and results from a solid-solid conversion. Having a similar morphology and structure of the parent biomass, it represents somehow its unconverted fraction [38].”

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.
