  • Corbet et al. (2019) show that the majority of academic papers on cryptocurrencies solely focus on Bitcoin.

    “This is also reflected in the academic literature where Corbet et al. (2019) show that the majority of academic papers on cryptocurrencies solely focus on Bitcoin.”

    From Technical trading and cryptocurrencies (2021) · cites this paper as Corbet et al. 2019

    In the discussion accompanying Figure 2 (page unavailable), the paper reports that Bitcoin was the central cryptocurrency in 74.3% of the papers it analysed. That supports the majority claim for its selected papers, but being the central topic does not establish that those papers focused solely on Bitcoin. (LLM, conf=0.88)

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.
