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?

  • People reciprocate voluntary trust.

    “Our novel alternative to punishment builds on the reciprocal nature of the trust—the fact that people reciprocate voluntary trust68—as well as the conditional nature of human cooperation—the fact that negative reciprocity can be switched to positive reciprocity given sufficient cooperation levels44,69–71.”

  • Most people reciprocate trust when the initial act of trust is taken voluntarily.

    “More specifically, it has been observed that most people reciprocate trust when the initial act of trust is taken voluntarily68, e.g., as is the case with successful business organizations who foster a culture of trust by placing trust in others72–74.”

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.
