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?

  • Combined with the larger margin for both crops and cattle in year 2, this could indicate that the farm is potentially moving from economies of scale to 'economies of scope,' where value is created from more diverse and efficient use of on-farm resources rather than increasing outputs.

    “Combined with the larger margin for both crops and cattle in year 2, this could indicate that the farm is potentially moving from economies of scale to ' economies of scope, ' where value is created from more diverse and efficient use of on-farm resources rather than increasing outputs (de Roest et al. 2018).”

  • The agroecological transition is ongoing and not complete, and close partnerships in short value chains central to agroecological system re-design take time to establish.

    “Further, the agroecological transition is ongoing and not complete, and the close partnerships in short value chains that are central to agroecological system re-design (de Roest et al. 2018) take time to establish.”

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.
