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?

  • Uncertainty could not be avoided in this grouping; for example, for Nannochloropsis sp. "N-deficiency" is 0.025-0.105 g L−1 of nitrates, for Nannochloropsis oculata it is 1.5-0.375 g L−1, while "N-starvation" for Nannochloropsis sp. with 0.45 g L−1.

    “However, in this case, uncertainty could not be avoided too, for example, for Nannochloropsis sp. “N-deficiency” is 0.025–0.105 g L− 1 of nitrates, for Nannochloropsis oculata it is 1.5–0.375 g L− 1, while “N-starvation” for Nannochloropsis sp. with 0.45 g L− 1 [11].”
  • The lipid content in biomass of some microalgae can reach up to 75%.

    “Numerous studies have shown that the lipid content in the biomass of some microalgae can reach up to 75% [11].”
  • Sajjadi et al. and Morales et al. attempted to divide experimental data into groups taking into account the N content: "N-replete" and "N-starvation", and "N-deficiency".

    “To systematise experimental data on the relationship between nitrogen starvation and the ability of algae to synthesise lipids, Sajjadi et al. [11], Morales et al. [136] attempted to divide them into groups taking into account the N content: “N-replete” and “N-starvation”, and “N-deficiency”.”

    From Nitrogen and phosphorus stress as a tool to induce lipid production in microalgae (2023) · cites this paper as Sajjadi et al. [11]

  • Some strains, such as Nannochloropsis gaditana and C. vulgaris, accumulate lipids up to 50-70% of their dry weight under nitrogen deprivation or high light stress conditions.

    “Some strains, such as Nannochloropsis gaditana and C. vulgaris, have been reported to accumulate lipids up to 50–70% of their dry weight under nitrogen deprivation or high light stress conditions [5].”

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.
