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

  • Entrepreneurial alertness has been postulated to be an individual capability that can be learned and improved.

    “Entrepreneurial alertness has been postulated to be 'an individual capability that can be learned and improved' (Tang etal., 2012, p. 91).”
  • Following social cognitive theory, entrepreneurial alertness can be influenced by actively engaging in behavior, cognition, action, and experiential learning.

    “Likewise, for entrepreneurial alertness, Tang etal. (2012) argued that following social cognitive theory, alertness can be influenced 'by actively engaging in behavior, cognition, action, and experiential learning' (p.91).”
  • Entrepreneurship training can increase the entrepreneurial alertness of secondary school students to some extent via the usage of active/hands-on activities.

    “Our study also uncovered that entrepreneurship training can increase the entrepreneurial alertness of secondary school students to some extent via the usage of active/hands-on activities, consistent with social cognitive theory (Tang etal., 2012).”

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.
