In the citing paper
“The cause of these effects has been demonstrated to be due to the very similar amounts of micro-contamination being added to all synthesized graphite samples during the combustion/acidification and/or graphitization process that we have previously described (Vogel et al. 1987;Kirner et al. 1995;Brown and Southon 1997).”

In the citing paper
“This inversely proportional dependence has been studied by using a simple model that assumed a constant mass of modern C (MC) (Brown and Southon 1997).”

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.
