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?

  • OA publishing makes research more visible, transparent, and reproducible, and shortens time to publication, but its possible effects on research and journal quality have been questioned.

    “although OA publishing is very beneficial as free access makes scientific researches more visible, transparent, and reproducible, and also shortens the time required for publication to be available online, the unintended, yet possible, OA effects on research and journal quality have become questioned [133].”

  • Many studies have demonstrated that OA content attracts more citations, although others did not observe a significant OA advantage in citation impact.

    “Indeed, many studies have demonstrated that OA content attracts more citations [129,133,153-155], although others did not observe significant OA advantage in citation impact [156,157].”

  • The detrimental effect on the quality of research resulting from the shift from publishing in subscription-based to OA journals was demonstrated empirically.

    “The detrimental effect on the quality of research resulting from the shift from publishing in subscription-based to OA journals was, in fact, demonstrated empirically [133].”

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.
