Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

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?

  • Karkouch et al.'s paper selection was random, without a systematic search and selection process of systematic reviews.

    “Their paper selection was random without a systematic search and selection process of systematic reviews [104,130,150].”
  • Internet Identity Workshop (IIW) started a discussion about blockchain identity in the spring of 2015.

    “Due to the growing interest in decentralized technology, especially blockchain, Internet Identity Workshop (IIW) started a discussion about blockchain identity in the spring of 2015.”
  • Decentralized and Self-Sovereign Identity is a general topic of discussion only since 2015.

    “The second can be justified with the fact that decentralized and Self-Sovereign Identity is a general topic of discussion only since 2015.”
  • Validity considerations are applicable for SMS and SLR studies, like empirical studies.

    “Validity considerations are applicable for SMS and SLR studies, like empirical studies (Petersen et al., 2008;Petersen et al., 2015).”

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.
