From 17 pieces of literature, only 1 piece did not discuss smart cities, while 2 pieces discussed livable cities supporting smart cities.
“From 17 pieces of literature, we found that only 1 piece of literature did not discuss smart cities, while 2 pieces of literature discussed livable cities supporting smart cities [26,27].”
From Initial Cybersecurity Framework in the New Capital City of Indonesia: Factors, Objectives, and Technology (2022) · cites this paper as [27]
Section 4 (‘Quality of life in smart cities’) and Section 4.2 (‘Smart Living’) discuss how smart-city initiatives can improve residents’ quality of life, so the paper fits the cited topic broadly. They do not establish the more specific characterization that livable cities support smart cities. The tally of 17 pieces is presented as the citing authors’ own finding, not as a finding attributed to this source. (LLM, conf=0.76)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredLivability is an issue in smart cities related to the focus of smart city development on quality of life and innovation ecosystems.
“Livability is an issue in smart cities related to the focus of smart city development on quality of life and innovation ecosystems [27].”
From Initial Cybersecurity Framework in the New Capital City of Indonesia: Factors, Objectives, and Technology (2022) · cites this paper as [27]
The information technologies for IKN cybersecurity are risk assessment, big data, governance, awareness, blockchain, biometrics, machine learning, cryptography, network security, artificial intelligence, and intrusion detection.
“| 1 | Risk Assessment | [26-28] |”
From Initial Cybersecurity Framework in the New Capital City of Indonesia: Factors, Objectives, and Technology (2022) · cites this paper as [27]
Section 6, “Towards a research agenda” (page unavailable), discusses smart-city risks, including cyberattacks, and proposes studying the risks and benefits of smart-city initiatives. A search for “risk assessment” and “cybersecurity” found no passage identifying risk assessment as a cybersecurity technology for IKN. (LLM, conf=0.72)

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.
