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?

  • Recent work has modeled spatial take-offs and regional specialization but has not sufficiently highlighted the importance of human capital and skills in the process.

    “Recent work has modeled”

    From The Mechanics of the Industrial Revolution (2023) · cites this paper as Trew, 2014

    Section 3 models spatial takeoff, and Section 5.1 discusses regional specialization. Section 3.1 describes labor without distinguishing workers by skill, but the paper does not establish the claim that human capital and skills are important to the process or explicitly assess whether recent work has given them sufficient attention.

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.
