Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The arc and (or) back-arc terranes comprising the Composite Arc belt were assembled outboard of Laurentia at c45 1250-1225 Ma during the Elzevirian orogeny, shortly before their accretion to Laurentia.

    “This nomenclature reflects current understanding that the arc and (or) back-arc terranes comprising the Composite Arc belt were assembled outboard of Laurentia at c45 1250-1225 Ma during the Elzevirian orogeny, shortly before their accretion to Laurentia (see also Rivers 1997; Corriveau and van Breemen 2000; Rivers and Corrigan 2000; Hanmer et al. 2000).”
  • Mesoproterozoic modifications to the architecture in the vicinity of cross-section E included continental-margin arc-related intrusions and supracrustal rocks and a prominent mafic dyke swarm (Shabogamo gabbro) that stitched several crustal elements.

    “Mesoproterozoic modifications to this architecture included continental-margin arc-related intrusions and supracrustal rocks (not shown) and a prominent mafic dyke swarm (Shabogamo gabbro) that stitched several of the crustal elements (Rivers 1997; Rivers and Corrigan 2000).”
  • Prior to the Grenvillian collision, in the vicinity of cross-section E, the Laurentian margin had Labradorian metasediments (metamorphosed c45 1660 Ma) lying outboard of granitoid rocks of the Trans-Labrador batholith (emplaced at 1650 Ma), which lay outboard of Archean basement with an undeformed Paleoproterozoic supracrustal cover.

    “The configuration of the Laurentian margin in the vicinity of cross-section E prior to the Grenvillian collision is schematically shown in Fig. 11A, with Labradorian metasediments (metamorphosed c45 1660 Ma) lying outboard of granitoid rocks comprising the Trans-Labrador batholith (emplaced at 1650 Ma), which in turn lay outboard of the Archean basement with a Paleoproterozoic supracrustal cover”
  • The province-wide Ottawa orogeny was a result of continent-continent collision.

    “If the province-wide Ottawa orogeny was a result of continent-continent collision, as is commonly inferred (e.g., McLelland et al. 1996, 2001; Rivers 1997; Carr et al. 2000)”

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.
