In the citing paper
“Thus, in addition to a livelihood, cattle ranching has become an activity involved in land grabbing (grilagem) and land speculation (Bowman et al., 2012;Pereira et al., 2016).”
From Making deforestation risk visible. Discourses on bovine leather supply chain in Brazil (2020) · cites this paper as Bowman et al., 2012
In the citing paper
“Second, in the context of volatile and uncertain land and currency markets, cattle ranching provides a low cost and low risk way to maintain control over a large land area and take advantage of speculative opportunities, while also building up a savings account, via the cattle themselves (Hecht 1993, Bowman et al. 2012, Campbell 2015).”

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.
