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

  • The PSQ-Org and PSQ-Op items are not specific to policing and can apply to other PSP professionals; the scales have been used successfully with a wide range of PSP.

    “Despite the scale titles, none of the items are specific to policing, such that each item can apply to other PSP professionals; indeed, the scales have been used successfully with a wide range of PSP [28,29,30,31,32].”

    From Assessing the Relative Impact of Diverse Stressors among Public Safety Personnel (2020) · cites this paper as [28]

    The Instruments section (p. 129) says the PSQ was developed to measure stressors specific to policing, rather than generic stressors applicable across professions. The paper also describes the instruments as unique to police organizations (p. 6). It does not report successful use of the PSQ scales across a wide range of public-safety professions. (LLM, conf=0.83)

    Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.

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.
