In the citing paper
“repeated sub-aqueous eruption, hydration, and burial of lava during top-down construction of Archean examples was proposed by Kamber (2015) to transport hydrated basalt to depths enough for partial melting to occur”
From Secular change and the onset of plate tectonics on Earth (2020) · cites this paper as Kamber, 2015
In the citing paper
“Kamber (2015) makes the cogent argument that, with a specific gravity of around 5 and interlayered with basalt and komatiite with specific gravities of ∼2.9, the Hadean crust was 'doomed' to founder-rather than slide (i.e.subduct as a slab) back-into the hot, dry mantle, thus explaining its absence.”

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.
